I am working on a script for my website that will download pictures sent from a sprint phone directly out of email, thumbnail them, and add them to a gallery type page. I don't have a camera phone now but a friend of mine does on another carrier and his phone sends the picture as an attachment in email. As I now know Sprint's system does not do this. I could have it parse the email itself and download the picture that is embedded in the email but this image is rather small and I want the full thing. Is there any way of either getting the link to the full size image from the email or getting the file itself as an attachment or some other form through some way? Any ideas you can provide would be of great help.

HRmm.. I'm very interested in getting ahold of or developing something to do this as well... here is what I found just by looking at the sources real quick...
Email has a link like:
http://pictures.sprintpcs.com/share.jsp?invite=XXXUNIQUEXXX&shareName=Photo
The XXXUNIQUEXXX is the key to the created pages... So from there if you just extract the XXXUNIQUEXXX and append it to:
http://pictures.sprintpcs.com/guest/view/large.do?invite=
so it would look like:
http://pictures.sprintpcs.com/guest/view/large.do?invite=XXXUNIQUEXXX
You get the final page with the large image, from there you can extract the image from the source easily via script.
So you would need to Extract the XXXUNIQUEXXX from the email, have your script wget http://pictures.sprintpcs.com/guest/view/large.do?invite=XXXUNIQUEXXX
and extract the URL to the image, and have the script retrieve and do its voodoo on the image to put it into the gallery.
The only problem is that the direct image link seems to check referrer info and produces an internal 500 error when accessed directly. I'm sure it will be simple to figure out, I'll give it some more time in a bit..

Yea I figured all that out but its just way too much work. And www.textamerica.com is pretty much exactly what I was going to make so I'm just using that instead. Thanx anyways though.
