In SE MMS developer guide i've found something like this:

Content-Type:image/gif;
name="Dilbert_background.gif"
X-Mms-Ericsson-UserPrompt: Yes;
Content-ID:

567GhIGfHfYT6ghyHhHuujpfyF4f8HHGTrfvfJhjH776tbB9HG4VQbnj7
77n8HHGT9HG4VQpfy and on and on....

I don't care about upper part (it's Prompt Mime header example), but i assume that those symbols lower, is dilbert gif (picture body) presented the way t68i understands it. Phonebackup stores gifs from phonebook in *.ms files almost the same way.

Does anybody know how to convert gif to look like this and vice versa? Any developer? Somebody? I'm complete ignorant about graphic formats, but i really need it.

Thanks! [addsig]

He its mime encoded it usually uses base 64 encoding which just converts the data from the picture into ascii printable characters, you will see this he you send an mms to a test only email program. You could possibly use up email app 2 convert the file or a different program but i foot know what u would use on a whodozepc as i only have linux :-)

Thanks! I feel i'm getting a little closer...

I could use some how-to if somebody knows how to decode it to base 64

Nope, thats not it. But this link could be usefull to reduce gif size to download them via WAP (i.e. esato private logos)

Foud it! And it works! http://neodave.civ.pl/sneak.php

It could be used for transfering pics to PC with data cable, with proper small little program encoding and decoding gifs to BASE 64. Phonebackup can retrieve pics from t68i phonebook, with soft able to read *.ms file and grab gifs it could work. Any developer willing to try?
I know its kinda complicated solution, but this process could be automatic.

@Aled: i'm so stupid! Look at Phonebackup v-card entry with gif: PHOTO;ENCODING=BASE64;TYPE=GIF!!!!

I could do it on my computer with a script, but i dont know of any program to download data from the t68 which works on my machine. Could u use a dos script? (a .bat file or something) there must be a scripting languauge built in to windoze, i dunno much about windoze, i hate microsloth and wont have anything of theirs in the house.

Or you could delete windoze from ur machine, install linux on it, and i'll write you a shell script to do it ;P

Thanks for the offer! I'm not happy stuffing Gates pockets too, but unfortunately i've got too much soft i need. I'm using my PC to work and can't afford few days lag because of learning linux

Besides, most fun was trying to make it work. Now i know it can be done

I don't pretend to know much, but I personally think that isn't the way that notpad represents pictures, in othere words of you try and edit the phone number and then save the contact (Tat includes a picture), then it will not be displayed in the t68 correctly
Just my view
Good Shit, Bad Shit, It's all Shit
