I’ve put in a temporary fix to avoid rogers messages causing the decoder to crash, you should be able to use the service now. I need to do a little more analysis to see if I can find a more permanent solution, but it is working now.

Hi Angela, I just checked and something about how rogers sends SMS -> email causes the decoder to crash. Rogers appears to add a bunch of random small images in the message (probably for tracking) that make snapmyinfo get heartburn. Later tonight, I’ll see if I can add a fix to avoid this problem (don’t have time at the moment). If you send another message from rogers, I’m guessing it will cause the decoder to crash again (not positive about that). I’ll reply here when I get a fix in place.

Just got a message back saying “mail delivery failed: returning message to sender” – can anything be done about this? I’d really like to make use this service!

I found a couple of stuck messages in the decoder. I cleared them out so it should be working again. I’ll look into why it got stuck in the first place. Thanks for letting me know.

Tried using this service today and message was sent but I received error message about delivery.

Good, I'm just glad it's still working!

Huh, figures that it's fixed right when I finally decide to comment about it Thanks for keeping this up! I was afraid you'd decided to take it down for some reason. Just tried it and it works again, great!
