I think this might be related to what Blackberries encounter, i.e. sloppy SMIL makes the receiver throw away the attachments - it's on "the list" ;D

Could you do 'cat /home/user/.fmms/mms/<transactionid>/AAAA' and guess what type it is? (Transactionid is the string below sender in the "main view")

I've had to kill it and once retried - image got resized and sent instantly.
Hmm, did it hang because you changed connection? It really shouldn't - as long as the new connection is up before the actual sending process starts it should be fine, but yes, better error handling is on "the list" as well

How long does it get stuck? It got a timeout of about 60 seconds before giving up on connecting to where the MMS is hosted (think it's 60 seconds, might be 20 or 30 :P).

What is funny tough, that I don't necessarily have to connect manually with "T-Mobile MMS" profile, as connecting via general "T-Mobile Internet" works just fine for MMS too (despite of having "T-Mobile MMS" profile selected in fMMS options).
The setting in fMMS is so far only for connecting if no other connection is active (and getting the proxy settings from), not currently possible to have it autoconnect in the background etc, also being looked into how to solve

Since Nokia itself is offering support in fMMS development, I strongly believe it will shortly get very close to perfect solution for seamless MMS support in Maemo as a whole! Actually, I think it already is quite close, but would be much closer if it was integrated with Conversations.
Thanks for the well structured feedback!
Wheter or not Conversation integration is possible or not time will tell, but most other parts of integrating it with the the OS (share via and stuff like that) should be possible in the future


In other news I've refactored the code over the weekend, changed to something resembling a MVC concept and added a sqlite.db for keeping track of stuff in the application, working on showing outgoing mms as well as incoming. Some minor fixes left which I hope to solve during the week and I'll push a new version to -devel

Problem with fMMS? Run in x-terminal: cp /tmp/fmms.log /home/user/MyDocs/
After that you'll see fmms.log in filemanager or when you connect the device to your desktop as a mass storage device.
E-mail the log to me, if you don't have the email address, drop me a PM. Thanks!

fMMS - MMS for your N900
