As a rule, I use neither SMS or MMS, but need to send Contact details by email frequently.
I note that people have previously asked how to change the Send as vCard behavior to use email accounts instead of MMS. But the questions are a little old now.
Does anyone have an answer yet, either for WM6.0 Smartphone or WM6.1 Touchscreen?
Thx.
*bump*
I sorely miss this feature. I was wondering if it could not be achieved by editing the registry. Anyone?
Has anyone found how to do this, I realise its an old question, but it would be handy to know?
Yes, this is not existing. Unbelievable !
I'm using a workaround for this.
1st/ start a send vcard (MMS)
2nd/ the card is stored in folder /temp. Filename seems always to be 'me.vcf'
3rd/ attach it to a normal email using whatever kind of file explorer !!
I'm open to any kind of better solution or workaround !

Hello all,
Is there a way to automatically download pictures in html-mail? Now my device says: "To protect your privacy, pictures from the Internet are not automatically downloaded." Very annoying ...
I have a HTC P3300 with windows mobile 6 (Meschle's ROM)
Thanks
Automatic pic download?????
I was thinking the same thing....Im trying to find out now
...this has got to be THE most annoying thing EVER...
I've been looking for a solution to this one too...
I want my html email to be ACTUAL html WITH pictures by default...whats the point of blocking the pictures? You might as wel just use text email instead...!
PLEASE post the solution to this if you find it...
afaik if you get a spam mail with images, and these are downloaded, they recognize it and then you will get TONS of spam.
so the first spam mail is just a test for that e-mail address.

This I understand. But with respect, that still has nothing to do with wanting the option of turning the images on or off of my own volition.
Not to mention in MY case, I have rules set up that move email from my contact address book to a folder called "sync" - and thats the only folder that I am syncing to my mobile. were talking friends and business clients...NOT anything else...so in my case, that rule fails...what...3x a year...if that.
Again, anyone know how to turn OFF the automatic picture blocking of html email on wm6?
Drat! Had hoped I'd find a solution to this problem, but it looks like I'll have to keep searching, like everyone else? Doesn't make sense that there wouldn't be an options setting or registry flag to control this behavior since it is so annoying to some of us...
anyone ever find a way to do this? I see lots of threads about it but no answers.
There is still No Answer on this Forum or any other that I have found. I moved to Qmail and Am very happy, of Course it has its own challenges.
I'm also looking for a solution to this.
so Bumpety Bump Bump!!!
Some solution please ....
Is this possible? I'm new to Windows Mobile and I can't find any way of sending the same SMS message to more than one contact. I've done a search on the forum but haven't been able to find a solution frrom those old threads.
Any new and easy solutions you guys know of? Thanks!
Anyone?
I have a new number with my new WinMo phone and need to let all of my contacts know, of which there are around 100.
I like the following, GroupSMS. There are others as well.
Thanks for that.
The problem with I'm having using that app is that I can't sync my HTC Touch HD with Outlook, it just says "Outlook has not been configured". So I have no way of copying the contact from my phone to Outlook and hence am unable to create any groups in Outlook to sync back to my phone.
Help?
Hmm, Ok, I don't use Outlook so don't know how to help with that. May want to bring up those issues within the GroupSMS thread itself, see if others can help.
In WM6.1 the standard messaging client allows for SMS to a lot of people. Simply press the TO: button to add additional people. The format goes like this on mine when auto inserted from the contact list:
Xda Developers <8085551211>; Thresher <8083332222>; etc
When I am typing out multipl contacts in SMS i simply type the name, then hit enter, I then type another name, choose it and go from there.
It sounds like that is what you were asking but you got a lot of varied results. Perhaps groupsms is easier to use or something but I do not know. You only need what wm6.1 has to do multiple sms sending.
Is your Outlook (not Express) in fact setup and operational from your desktop?
i just start a new sms
click [to] text
add a contact click [to]
add another and so forth
I can't understand how it's not an easy thing for MS to implement, if I have a group set up called 'work', in the To: box, I put 'work' and it text's to everyone in the work group? Surely that wouldn't have been hard to implement?
Hi,
I want to send SMS from my PC using the Windows Mobile connected via Active Sync. Though there are numerous software available to do so, the specific feature I am looking is sending the SMS from excel file in which one column contains the Phone No and another the personlized SMS for each number.
I had searched a lot on the internet and could't find one.
Can you please help ?
Thanks in advance !!!

Hmmm, sounds to me like he wants to spam people rather than sending standard messages - can't think of another reason why you would want to have Excel List prepeared messages. If it wouldn't be meant to send out large amount of SMS, a SMS template would do!
I hate people doing that - here in the US you have to pay even for incoming messages, regardless if it was wanted or not!
Could be he wants to do a blanket "Happy New Year" message to all his friends.
Actually scrub that, you could just do one SMS to already existing contacts very easily so why the need to prepare an Excel sheet.
For remote control etc i use Jeyo Mobile Companion.

Hey !
I am not spamming anything, I want to send personalized SMS to my friends, relatives. etc.
I have to send around 250 SMS on this New Year and has made an excel containing the phone number and the personalized SMS.
Generally in India, people send standard SMS to everybody on such days but I just want to add my personal touch to it !!!
Spamming means to send standard SMS/emails to many recipients, but after reading your reply, it seems that your definition of spamming is very much different !!!
I do have Jeyo mobile, but copy and pasting each number and SMS will be bit difficult.
Hmmm,
I just wonder why you copied / wrote all the messages into an Excel sheet in first place?
As far as I remember, Outlook 2007 somehow supports sending out short messages - it has to be configured once but then it should work just fine.

I had not written all the SMS, just changed the standard SMS according to the person, like his/her name, saluation, etc. Basic text of all the SMS is same.
Excel provides tools like concanate, etc to create SMS with variable fields and that why I used it.
However I can convert that excel file onto .txt file also but the basic requirement remains the same, I want to send particular SMS to particular number only.

i believe you can send sms messages through the computer using dashwire (www.dashwire.com), but im not sure if you can send multiple at once

I opened this new thread as I know one software which can be used with CDMA handset to send SMS from excel and that software is free.
I used it and it works like a charm.

But anyways all your help was appreciated !

Hi,
Sorry to open a new topic but I've googled during hours and didn't find a response.
As some of you know, android 2.1 has a very annoying bug: It's unable to open eml files.
This prevent to read attached or forwarded exchange emails (*.eml files).
Does froyo solve this?
Can someone having a Froyo device test this ? (just attach an email to another one in exchange and send it to yourself) ie do a forward but with mail attached, not embedded
Google just said "enhanced exchange support for froyo"
I know that Touchdown for exchange can do this, but I would prefer a built in solution to propose Android as a real enterprise alternative.
Thanks a lot !
And this is a busniess phone?
I hope they get this working as this OS is useless to our company. Granted Google doesn't care about a small 15 person company but I would love to start using my Evo for work and have to carry around my old Treo 800w just so I can read a forwarded email.
Yes I know the work around is to just have them reply and change who it's going to but I can't do that for everyone that emails me because Google can't get this fixed.
nobody having a 2.2 can test this please ?
I have an EVO, upgraded to 2.2 yesterday. Opening .eml attachments still isn't working. Make sure you post a comment and vote for this bug on google project site:
goo.gl/I5DF
I can confirm the issue.
We just deployed a bunch of EVO's and some are having this issues and other are not.
When you forward an attachment lets say a .wav file it repackages the entire message and text into a .eml that the EVO can't open.
You can open it on the desktop.
All are running 2.2.
Damn sad if you ask me. Maybe it's a Microsoft thing and they need licensing to open a .eml extension.
Wow this is a huge issue for us that we were not aware of.
To clarify the eml format is only used when you forward a message with an attachment from the Android device when an exchange server is used. Forwarded messages from outlook are fine.
Apparently this has been an unresolved issue for some time.
Can post the link to but do a search for eml and android.
Looks like you can control this behavior in Exchange.
Anyone else know of a solution?
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=4760
Doesn't seem to be a proprietary MS file format. See: http://filext.com/faq/decode_eml_files.php
A dev would probably be able to create an app to read these files pretty easily. Unfortunately, I'm not a coder.
Hi guys ... I have a really silly question .. I have an old Blackberry Curve 8700 which has some very important SMSs in it .. I would like to copy over all the SMS from this Blackberry Curve 8700 into my new HTC Desire Z ... Problem is I dont see any tool for the Blackberry which allows me to export SMS messages .. So my only option is to maybe somehow open up the SMS Database for my Android phone is some editor, and manually plant the SMSs from my blackberry by manually typing them in, and also setting the correct times as to when I received them, or when I sent them out .. There are only like 10-15 messages so I don't mind manually typing them in if I have to, but because they are so important, I have to somehow copy them over ..
Any suggestions ? Is there any tool available for the Androids which allows you to dissect and operate on the SMS database in an Android phone at low level ?
Any other suggestions are welcome too ...
What exactly is a "very important SMS" and why couldn't you simply just record the information in a text file or write it down somewhere? Email it to yourself? Why does it need to be loaded into the SMS database of another device? Why must it remain an SMS?
I hope that's not prying, but I just can't seem to understand why it would need to be kept in "sms format"

Its actually a business related thing .. I have talks with clients and its very important you have a complete chronological record of all discussions in your phone .. So I would really prefer to copy them over if I can as this would make my life a lot easier later when referring to these conversations ..
By SQlite you can edit a sqlite file and put it back into
take pictures with your new phone of all the SMSes.
Use SMS Faker. It let's you put fake text messages on your phone at any time. To and from.
