      XPost: sci.electronics.design       From: dannyb@panix.com              [snnnniiiippp]              Two related issues:              a: if the sender is adding an emoji, aka one of those       dumb picture images, that'll glitchify any text-only phone              b: iPhones, for some unfathomable reason, even if the       owner is just sending straightforward text, convert       this into some ugly MMS (Multi Media Shit) that even       other smartphones, let alone text-only ones, have       trouble displaying.              I have a different brand phone, and it'll show the       header info, then require a "download" to get the rest.              This sucks in that I have to use "data" rather       than "message", and... it will NOT work when       I'm using WiFi but only succeed if I use my       actual cellphone data signal.                     --       _____________________________________________________       Knowledge may be power, but communications is the key        dannyb@panix.com       [to foil spammers, my address has been double rot-13 encoded]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
