I'm using NowSMS as an MMSC emulator and I already found out how to send some MMS' over EAIF protocol to NowSMS. Now I would like to check these received messages with an emulator to view how the MMS would have been displayed on mobile phones if I had send it to real mobile phones.

That's why I'm using Series 60 Content Authoring SDK 2.0, found in:
http://forum.nokia.com/main/resources/technologies/messaging/multimedia_messagin g/tools.html
When I start the emulator based on java I can put a PDU (*.mms-File) in its mmsin-folder. After that the programm realize the incoming file and display it on the emulated mobile phone.

It is perfectly working with the PDU (representing a MMS) from:

But now I want to use the .mms-Files from NowSMS (located in MMSCDATA) to view it on the emulated mobile phone, but it always displays that the MMS is invalid. Furthermore the mms-Files located in MMSCDATA seem not to be the real mms files because they are too small when I'm sending pictures and more to NowSMS.

Can someone help? It's possible to extract the mms representing PDU of the received MMS to display it on emulated mobile phones?

I don't know what to tell you, the MMSCDATA files are the actual m-retrieve.conf PDUs that would be fetched by a mobile phone. (I don't know if the emulator is expecting m-send.req.)

If these files are smaller than you expect, then it sounds like something else is going wrong, maybe in your EAIF submission. I can't think of any scenarios that would result in missing content.

What if you submit a message via the NowSMS web interface ... do those files work? (A quick test with that emulator works for me.)
