I have been playing around with Android Messaging a bit more, and I noted that their size limit seems to be closer to 1.1 Megabytes, so I have changed the defaults in mmsd to change that (though once again, you can change it yourself if you so choose!).
I also added some smarts to MMSD. It now knew if it was disconnected or reconnected to data, but now I am letting it auto send and recieve messages when it knows it is connected. One neat side effect is that if you are having issues sending/recieving, you can actually go in and turn off and on mobile data in Phosh, and mmsd will automatically retry any unsent/unrecieved messages. This is also a user setting, so if you don't like that, feel free to disable it.
Also, something interesting I have learned about the MMS specification. Contrary to how it is widely used today, you can send almost any file over MMS. It handles PDFs, Word Docs, even arbietrary binary files (I have sent and recieved these all of these over MMS!). Android messaging on the other hand.....does not like being sent some of these as I have found out. I am wondering if the reason is partically if I am not sending SMIL with my MMS, but I have not figure dout SMIL for chatty. Android Messaging will send them, but it seems to not like attempting to display/save them.
I am, however, able to send and recieve all of these files just fine on Chatty! Mind you, a functional front end doesn't exist yet, but I don't see a reason for Chatty to not support it (especially in light if it supporting Matrix).
