Hi,

Are you running MMSCOMP independently of NowSMS? (Or maybe copied MMSCOMP.EXE to another location, independent of where you might be using NowSMS.)

The reason I ask is because MMSCOMP looks at the MMSCTYPE.INI file for mapping file extensions to MIME content types. So if MMSCTYPE.INI is present, it maps ".3gp" to "video/3gpp".

If MMSCTYPE.INI is not present, then MMSCOMP looks up the MIME type for ".3gp" in the Windows registry. (If you have QuickTime installed, it sets up this MIME type mapping, but if not, then it is probably not defined.) If it can't be found in the registry, then NowSMS just uses application/3gp (or instead of "3gp", whatever the file extension is).

I'm guessing that this is the problem ... that the MIME type is not set correctly in the resulting MMS message.
