Hi, I have a question about forward-lock. Does NowSMS support forward lock to MMS message as a whole instead of individual media objects?

we have a MMS application use HTTP send MMS to NowSMS. I use
MultipartPostMethod.addParameter("MMSForwardLock", "Yes") to set the forward lock flag in our application. A forward-lock supported handphone is used for test and can receive picture attachment instead of a whole MMS, user cannot forward this picture. (We construct mms use a smil file.)However, if I send MMS from NowSMS web interface to the same handphone, we can get the whole MMS and cannot forward the whole MMS.

Thanks.

Hi,

NowSMS applies forward lock wrappers to the individual non-text (and non-SMIL) content pieces of the message, not to the message as a whole.

I'm at a loss to explain why you would see a difference in behaviour.

Other than ... what version of NowSMS are you running?

Starting with NowSMS 2006, when you send via the web interface, NowSMS will auto-generate a SMIL file if one is not included. Previous versions did not.

So if you are using a pre-2006 NowSMS, then the difference in behaviour may be an issue of whether or not a SMIL file is present in the message.
