Yep, given that it expects MMS to come in as email anyway. If there’s more than one image it’ll still only return one which may well be the wrong one, so it’s worth a try to see what it does. I’m rather short on coding time at the moment – if you want to have a go at patching it, feel free. Otherwise, send me an example MMS mail and I’ll see what I can do.

RE: #6 when you say “As long as there’s only one image”, you mean for MMS as well as email? Just curious, as tmo has changed their MMS format to include a little web page w/ a spacer gif, and some other jpg (kinda like what SprintPCS does)…

yoz & ben, thanks for this!
things were going fine till my t630 shit the bed, and i decided to go instead with the Samsung e715. problem was, the jpegs the samsung spits out doesn’t play nice with your script (in particular, the MT::Image module), giving this to errstr when it tries to make the thumbnail:
——————-
Reading file ‘pic.jpg’ failed: Exception 325: Invalid SOS parameters for sequential JPEG (pic.jpg)
Can’t call method “scale” on an undefined value at ./mt-moblog.pl line 132.
——————-
what to do? use another thumbnail module. for no particular reason other than it was the first one google turned up, i chose Image::Thumbnail by L. Goddard. so to get things going basicaly all i did was replace the MT::Image thumbnail code with this bit:
—————-
my $img = new Image::Thumbnail(
size => $WIDTH,
create => 1,
inputpath => $imagepath.$imgext,
outputpath => $imagepath.”_t”.$imgext,
);
—————-
and everything works again. probably not necessary for most, but for those whose phones spit jpegs out in a format that MT::Image can’t handle, the above hack will get you going again.

add this if you don’t want the script to break when you install extra MT modules
use lib “$MT_DIR/extlib”;

Sorry, it’s all very techie – unfortunately, hooking anything up to a mail recipient usually gets nasty. 🙁

I wish I understood more than just the title of this post. If I had a cameraphone I would want to be moblogging to MT _really_ badly. And who knows… the new Handspring/Palm thingy is singing a Siren song…. (as well as ringing polyphonic ring tones)
