Thanks for the encouragement Chris

I have a VI that will improve with communal use. It relates to getting the image from a Cell phone email. There are many possible uses for this, we intend it for monitoring wound healing.

The problem is that every cell phone service provider has a different idea about how this should be done.

The approach taken here is to take the body of the original email and discover who the service provider is and if we know him, interpret the message and save the jpeg in a folder. It uses cURL.exe (www.cURL.com for more information)

Currently the list is limited to a few Canadian providers and blackberry/cingular. You can help by adding your own supplier. Take a picture with your cell phone, add your email address as a contact (persevere here!) and then send it to the contact. When it arrives copy the original text of the email into the control in the VI and work away from there. The email picture service seems widely but quietly supported the main difficulty seems to be to get the email address into the contacts list.

If you don't want to program but do want to help, if you send picture emails to jbrohan (at) gmail.com I'll put them in and test them. I am particularly interested in cellphone emails form Africa and Latin America.

Yours Sincerely

John
