• Hi, I’m trying to get wp-moblog working again, after trying to get it working a few months ago before having to give up for certain reasons. Now I have a new phone and I’m trying again, but I’m still having the same old problems.
    I’m using a Sony Ericsson T610, and the problem is that although the script is picking up emails and posting them, the posts that are produced have a load of junk in the title, and the body of the post seems to repeat bits of itself and such. It’s hard for me to explain, but you can see an example at:
    http://www.nocturnalpulse.com/index.php?p=127
    Anybody got a clue why this is happening? I’m rather inexperienced in php, otherwise I’d try and sort it out myself. I hope one of you guys can see what the matter might be. I’m using the latest version of the wp-moblog.php file from rob’s site.
    Thanks! πŸ™‚

  • Jez, it looks like your phone is sending the message “quoted printable” transfer encoding. And something along the way is causing it to not decode properly. Try sending an email from your phone to a regular email address where you can access the raw text of the message, and see what it looks like.
    If your phone has any options to control the encoding of the emails it sends, try fiddling with those.

    Hi, I’m pretty sure that I’m unable to control the encoding that the emails are sent in, unfortunately. When I view emails that I send from my phone to my usual email address, they show up fine. Using Horde, I was able to view the message source, and got the following:

    Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah this is a test this is a nice test Blah Blah.
    Most of that makes sense to me, but I don’t know how to use it to solve this issue… Any ideas? Thanks πŸ™‚

    Oh, and just to make it clear, the line “Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah this is a test this is a nice test Blah Blah.” is exactly as I typed it on my phone.

    Think that somebody is going to have to add some sort of MIME decoding into the moblog hack to fix this. There seems to be aPEAR module that can handle the quoted-printable MIME stuff. Maybe the moblog hack author could adapt something like that into his code?

    That would be extremely helpful to me… Probably won’t happen too soon though I imagine. Oh well, looks like I might just have to sit tight for the moment.

    Hope nobody minds me resurrecting this thread, but after months I’ve still not found out how to deal with the problem. Just in case anybody around here knows the answer now?

    I am in the same boat as you Jez. I have a T616 which is identical to the T610 and am having problems sending email from my phone to wp. Mine just doesn’t pick up at all. I’ll be sure to let you know if I do come across something that works though.

    Hello. Resurrecting this very old thread again, due to what I read in the 1.2.2 release post. One of the listed fixes is “email encoding issues”. Does anybody know if this includes the issue I’ve been experiencing here? I gave up with this in the end, but if it’s now fixed then that would be pretty cool.

    In the same boat even with T630. I dont know what to do!!!

    Guys, I got my moblog working 100% with my Orange SPV C500. Check out http://www.0gravity.co.uk/wordpress/index.php?cat=3 for some posts.
    I used WP keitai mail @ http://unknowngenius.com/blog/archives/2004/08/23/wp-keitai-mail-plugin-v-10/
    Let me know if anyone needs help …

    I can’t use keitai mail.
    So what’s the trick to get rof of int. chars in the subject line when using the original wp-mail.php from v1.2.2?

    I’ve got keitaimail up and running on 1.5, but when I send email from my SE s710 phone, all it pulls is the subject. Works fine when I send from my computer email as plain text, but if I send from the computer as HTML, it decodes it right, but then also shows the text with the html code.

    I really wanna get this up and running from my SonyEricsson phone, but am having no luck.

    I guess that I am dragging this thread up again, but I am experiencing the same problem with my T610.
    I was very excited about the possibility of “mobile blogging”, but it looks like I’m stuck for now.
    Has anyone had any luck getting it working?

    I had it working with my s710a using some modifications of some existing scripts, see here for details.

    Just thought that I would let you know that I got it working using the Postie plugin which can handle HTML and the ISO 8859-1 text.
