== DESCRIPTION
 
MMS2R is a library that decodes the parts of an MMS message to disk while
stripping out advertising injected by the mobile carriers.  MMS messages are
multipart email and the carriers often inject branding into these messages.  Use
MMS2R if you want to get at the real user generated content from a MMS without
having to deal with the cruft from the carriers.
 
If MMS2R is not aware of a particular carrier no extra processing is done to the
MMS other than decoding and consolidating its media.
 
Contact the author to add additional carriers to be processed by the library.
Suggestions and patches appreciated and welcomed!

http://peepcode.com/products/mms2r-pdf
 
== SYNOPSIS
 
  require 'rubygems'
  require 'mms2r'
 
  # required for the example
  require 'tmail'
  require 'fileutils'
 
  mail = MMS2R.parse mail
  # mail = MMS2R.parse File.read('some_saved_mail.file')
 
  puts "mail has default carrier subject" if mail.subject.empty?
 
  # access the sender's phone number
  puts "mail was from phone #{mail.number}"
 
  # most mail are either image or video, default_media will return the largest
  # (non-advertising) video or image found
  file = mail.default_media
  puts "mail had a media: #{file.inspect}" unless file.nil?
 
  # finds the largest (non-advertising) text found
  file = mail.default_text
  puts "mail had some text: #{file.inspect}" unless file.nil?
 
  # mail.media is a hash that is indexed by mime-type.
  # The mime-type key returns an array of filepaths
  # to media that were extract from the mail and
  # are of that type
  mail.media['image/jpeg'].each {|f| puts "#{f}"}
  mail.media['text/plain'].each {|f| puts "#{f}"}
 
  # print the text (assumes mail had text)
  text = IO.readlines(mail.media['text/plain'].first).join
  puts text
 
  # save the image (assumes mail had a jpeg)
  FileUtils.cp mail.media['image/jpeg'].first, '/some/where/useful', :verbose => true
 
  puts "does the mail have quicktime video? #{!mail.media['video/quicktime'].nil?}"
 
  puts "plus run anything that TMail provides, e.g. #{mail.to.inspect}"
 
  # check if the mail is from a mobile phone
  puts "mail is from a mobile phone #{mail.is_mobile?}"
 
  # inspect default media's exif data if exifr gem is installed and default
  # media is a jpeg or tiff
  puts "mail is from a mobile phone #{mail.is_mobile?}"
  puts "mail's default media's exif data is:"
  puts mms.exif.inspect
 
  # Block support, process and receive all media types of video.
  mail.process do |media_type, files|
    # assumes a Clip model that is an AttachmentFu
    Clip.create(:uploaded_data => files.first, :title => "From phone") if media_type =~ /video/
  end
 
  # Another AttachmentFu example, Picture model is an AttachmentFu
  picture = Picture.new
  picture.title = mail.subject
  picture.uploaded_data = mail.default_media
  picture.save!
 
  #remove all the media that was put to temporary disk
  mail.purge
