Overview

On the surface, MMS messages are very similar to multipart HTML emails. One part is responsible for the layout of the message, though MMS uses SMIL rather than HTML. The other parts are attachments, such as text, picture, video, and sound files. Much like in multipart

Example

Receiving an MMS

 navigator.mms.onreceived = function (event) {
   var message = event.message;
   if (message.state == "unfetched") {
     message.fetch().onsuccess(function (event) {
       handleNewMessage(event.target.result);
     });
   } else {
     handleNewMessage(message);
   }
 }
 
 function handleNewMessage(message) {
   var pars = message.contentDocument.querySelectorAll("par");
   for (var i = 0; i < pars.length; i++) {
     //TODO
   }
 }

Sending an MMS

 var smil = "<smil><body><par><video src="lolcat.mov"/></par></body></smil>";
 var parser = new DOMParser();
 var doc = parser.parseFromString(smil, "application/smil");  
 
 var message = new MmsMessage(recipient, doc);
 message.attachments["lolcat.mov"] = new MmsAttchment("lolcat.mov", "application/video", videoData);
 
 navigator.mms.send(message);
