 * Alright so I have a rather interesting problem.
 * I’ve been trying to set up mobile blogging via the email blogging system and 
   a cron job. However whenever I send an email from my phone(a Motorola Slvr L7
   on a Cingular network), it displays a single string something like “smehtb=” 
   Initially I thought it was an encoding error(my phone sends base64 encoded messages
   and my site is UTF-8 encoded) but not only does that string never change(it’s
   not an error message either) no matter the content of the message but I’ve also
   logged into that email blogging email box with the email software(Horde) running
   UTF-8 encoding and it displays the email perfectly.
 * So I can verify that the problem is within the email importation system within
   WordPress. Is this a pretty easy fix or am I getting into some long drawn out
   process dealing with transcoding properties between POP3 and PHP?
 * Also I’d like to post multimedia attachments to my blog as well if possible and
   I’m curious to see if anyone has a fix for that as well.
 * Thanks guys.
