sending email-to-SMS to Mobile Phones oddity

Hey all. I realize this is a bit outside the norm and kind of a specialty question, but alas...I will throw it out there anyway...

I have a service that sends SMS messages to users phones via their mobile phones mobile email address using SWIFT mailer (for example 0001112222@somecarrier.com )

Users signup successfully via a confirmation text message, but once they receive future messages from our service those messages are received by some users as picture messages (or MMS messages).

The only difference between the one-off confirmation message that goes out and the BULK followup messages is that the BULK messages are sent using the BATCH sender instead of the individual one-off emails. Is there ANYTHING that is different with the BATCH email that would cause it to get received differently than the one-off conf email?

Any help appreciated.

Nothing different no, unless you use $message->attach() anywhere before you do the batchSend()?

thx for the reply. yeah I didnt think so, but thought I would ask. The only thing I noticed was that the X-LibVersion is different:

Batch: X-LibVersion: 3.2.4_4
One-Off: X-LibVersion: 3.3.2_4

Actually, the reason those are different is b/c of diff version on different servers. (we run multiple servers)

Other than that they are pretty much identical.
