In the directory MMSDATA are stored files that are sent through the gateway NowSMS, but can not be opened, its extension is .MMS as I can do to see it.

Those are MMS messages formatted according to the MMS Encapsulation Protocol format (OMA-MMS-ENC).

You would need a client that understands the MMS format to actually open one of those files.

I don't regularly use any PC based tools to access these files. I do seem to remember being able to open them in the Nokia Mobile Internet Toolkit in the past ... but overall I'm not a big fan of that toolkit. I just recall that at one time in the past I had installed a version and it associated itself with all ".mms" extension files.

What are you trying to do? Maybe I can suggest an alternative approach. The MMSCDATA directory is for messages that are in transit to a client, it's not really designed as a place to interact with messages, other than perhaps when debugging client interoperability issues.

Hi Bryce,

I need send a copy of the MMS files to other external server or allow access in the directory of NowSMS Gateway where they can work this files, for a photoalbum services.
Can you help me?

Sounds like my description on the other thread might lead you to an answer. I'll cross reference it here for others who might be interested:
