mms2r version 2.3.0 has been released!

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!
