When I send MMS with text and in text are chars [ and ] (example [TEST]) MMS is OK. The same message as WAP multimedia message has corrupted WML file and string [TEST] looks as:
[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[<test]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]>
I think there is a problem with conversion text to WML...

Petr,

I believe this problem would only be encountered in the v5.0 beta release. This is the first problem that I've seen in that release which affected a pre-v5.0 feature.

We added a feature for a particular customer that appears to have a bug in it. An updated MMSC.EXE for the v5.0 beta has been posted at http://www.nowsms.com/download/mmscbeta.zip.

In case you're curious, the new feature that caused this problem is described below:

* Multimedia WAP push: Allow message text to include WML formatting tags. For any formatting tags included in message text, surround the tag with three bracket (i.e., [ and ] characters) on each side of the tag. For example, "[[[b]]]" will be converted to "<b>" (whereas "<b>" would be converted to "&lt;b&gt;" for literal display). This setting should be used with caution ... be sure to close any tags that you open.
