I'm probably missing something stupid/obvious - but i can't seem to find the option to BCC/CC when i'm sending an MMS?
I take it the option is there.......... somewhere?

When you send an mms, the recipients don't get a list of who you sent it to, so BCC is redundant. Simply add as many people as you like to the recipient list - you don't need a CC field.
Oh right... I could have sworn that a friend told me that he could see other ppl i'd sent the MMS to.... maybe he was just having me on then

I'm 99.9999999999999999% sure that you don't get the full list of recipients. Just try it and see - send one to your mate, and to yourself, and ask him who else you sent it to. I bet he can't tell you
okay well i sent an MMS to various work colleagues PLUS some personal contacts...... and one of my work colleagues (who has a habit of doing lame spoofed-SMS 'pranks') asked me "who is xxxxxxxxxx?" (where xxxxxxxx = one of my personal contacts)

Just so others can help properly it's worth checking that your text messages are not being received despite the message. For a while I got the message cannot be sent messages but in fact they were being sent!

Oooooh! Not good, hope you they were not sent I ended up with repeated messages sent all over the place. Maybe you could check by sending message to yourself.

I see a reply from qtotter which I don't follow but may well make sense to you. Just in case qtotter does not have the explanation the following may help.
When I had the problem I began to notice that some numbers worked and some did not according to the message sent pop up. (as I said before all were actually being sent).
In my case it turned out to be to do with whether the numbers were on SIM on Phone or had been imported from SIM. As an experiment you could try re entering one of the numbers that appears not to work and saving it. Then try it again, if it's the same as the problem I had you may find the same number now works. Worth a try?
Mike
i guess what qtotter meant was that SMS in Japan is only possible between Softbank(Vodafone) and AU. Docomo doesnt support SMS...
For the x01th (hermes), it is the only phone in Japan without a proper email address connected to the carrier ( at least to my knowledge, maybe Willcom`s awesome W-Zero series has no email...dont know)
About the issue with the sms...i will look into the contact list/ sim issue.
Guess i will send some SMS and Cmails (AU) around.
Thanks for the tipp....

it's more like there is no way to get an address with x01th and use it on x01th by default. firstly, if you put your sim into another sb phone and go to Y!, you can get an account. secondly, if you install an mms client in x01th and set up vodafone/softbank mms setting, you can actually use mms on it. there is still some problem which happens once in awhile, but it works most of the time.
by the way, zero3 comes with an email address.

In my opinion the best one so far is sMMS. search for it here or at http://www.ppcgeeks.com
sMMS is very good.
U can also use email if you know what carrier is at the other end:
For other Sprint users, [email protected]
For Verizon users, [email protected]
For T-Mobile users, [email protected]
For Cingular users, [email protected]

Would any other members who are on Vodafone UK please let me know if they can send MMS messages. I have tried both contract and pay as you go sims, I can receive MMS messages but cannot send them. I would be grateful for any information to resolve this problem.

I wonder if this is related to my issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=618218
According to this (I can't verify if it's out of date or not), Vodafone's MMS limit is 100k. If you want, you can try using Handcent Sms from the market, which severely reduces the file size (therefore the resolution and quality of the picture) before sending out an MMS. I'm curious to see if you're having the same issue as me. If you do, the stock messaging program has a pretty huge flaw in it which needs to be addressed.
Tell me how it goes.

Hmmm I was really hoping that would be the issue
I tried to do some research, and it seemed like some Hero users were having the same issue as you. See if this helps you at all: http://androidforums.com/htc-hero/7776-mms-vodafone.html
The key would be this quote:
"All Vodafone Numbers MMS is deactivated At network level by default , you need to Ring customer services up on 191 Free of charge and ask them to Activate it"
I'm surprised they do it that way - it always used to be that the first MMS you sent activated your account automatically.

I think I had been down this way before but rang Customer Services again just to make sure. The guy at Vodafone first asked for my number which he checked and said that it was already activated for mms and internet, he then asked for make and model of phone, this is the good bit, he has never heard of this phone and it is not on their database so no support. I told him that they would be supporting this phone in the very near future, he said that if that is true I should just wait until that happens and ring back then.
What is it that makes it so difficult to send a flippin picture message

tell him you have a Vodafone Magic ... its a supported Android phone on Vodafone and the menus are identical so if he wants to talk you through setting anything up then no problem.
If he has to set anything network side to work on Voda then no problem either
My Kaiser's MMS app had the ability to CC and BCC people but there seems to be NO mention of that feature anywhere for HTC messaging.
Is there any kinda hack/tweak or setting that i'm missing?
Thanks
you should probably mention that the last time you asked this people said mms doesn't show the recipients who all you sent it to...
however it looks like from http://www.nowsms.com/MMS%20Messages.htm that the mms header may contain to, cc and bcc so if someone has the ability to view the mms header they'll be able to view all the people you sent it to.
i think if thats the case then it should be bcc by default

It definitely 'does' include that info, because i've seen it first hand. There's no option or mention of BCC in any of the option screens or messaging screens, nor in any manual and it most definitely doesn't BCC by default either :/
I'm interested in this as well...
so i switched to a rom without htc messaging and everything is great but the only thing i miss from that is when you hit new message and add recipient you could go into the list and check off people to send to.
in standard you have to add each person individually.
anyone know of an app to match that functionality? it was real handy
yea i know one, its called HTC messaging!
if htc messaging could handle lots of texts n not make me have to empty my inbox daily then id use it
hehe.can't complain myself, never had any problems, but I rarely get more than 30 or so txts built up before I hard reset.
yea for those of us doin like 200 a day its just about the worst software ever. got to the point of soft resets hourly
Um I dont know if this is the same thing you guys are talking about, but when you want to type a new msg and you have the box to type in names, to the right you should have a pawn icon, if you tab the pawn icon you can select multiple contacts and dont have to type their names to auto complete.
Hope that was what you guys were talking about.
the OP isnt using the htc messaging which is what you are using and refering to
found a program called group sms in omarket which is rather old but works.
only issue is when you select a group to send to everyone in the group is pre checked so i have to untick everyone i dont want it sent to. if there was an option for that itd be perfect
