== DESCRIPTION:
  
MMS2R is a library that decodes the parts of an MMS message to disk while 
stripping out advertising injected by the cellphone carriers.  MMS messages are 
multipart email and the carriers often inject branding into these messages. 

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.

== FEATURES/PROBLEMS:

Corpus of carriers currently processed by MMS2R:

* AT&T/Cingular => mmode.com
* Cingular => mms.mycingular.com
* Sprint => pm.sprint.com
* Sprint => messaging.sprintpcs.com
* T-Mobile => tmomail.net
* Verizon => vzwpix.com
  
== SYNOPSIS:

  require 'rubygems'
  require 'mms2r'
  require 'tmail'
  media = TMail::Media.parse(IO.readlines("mymail.file").join)
  mms = MMS2R::Media.create(mail,Logger.new(STDOUT))
  mms.process
  # mms.media is a hash that is indexed by mime-type
  # the mime-type key returns an array of filepaths
  # to media in the MMS that was of that type
  mms.media['image/jpeg'].each {|f| puts "${f}"}
  mms.media['text/plain'].each {|f| puts "${f}"}
  text = File.open(mms.media['text/plain'][0], 'rb') { |file|
       file.read
  }
  puts text
  #remove the media that was put to temporary disk
  #mms.purge
