Recovering ability to text multiple recipients

Today I discovered that I was suddenly unable to text the other three members of my family. Whenever I tried to type all three names into the To: field, the Messages app would exit as soon as I entered the third family member's name. I tried all permutations of the ordering, nothing worked. I ALSO found that I COULD send texts to four people, including my three family members. Very weird (the behavior, not my family members ). After lots of trial and error, I deleted the conversation thread consisting of these three family members and ... voila!! ... I can text my three family members again.
Anyone have any insight on what my have been going wrong? Just curious.

I'm also looking for a standard customizing alternative to do the same thing.
Still, if you're interested, I've already done it successfully with user exit PLAT0001.
Hope this helps.
Best regards.

Sending Text Messages to Multiple Recipients

Is there a way to send a text message to multiple recipients? I've been trying to figure it out for a while. I feel like this is a feature that apple couldn't have just forgotten! Anybody know?

Not supported with the iPhone - at the present time anyway with no indication that it will be supported in the future.
Apple is known for doing research so right, wrong or indifferent, I doubt this is something Apple forgot to include.
The only thing you can do is provide Apple feedback via the iPhone feedback link.

IPhone 5 iOS7 - Sending text to multiple recipients.

I have recently upgraded from my trusty iPhone 3GS to an iPhone 5 with iOS7. The phone is locked to the UK O2 Network.
When abroad multiple recipient text could be sent incurring a European Text Message Cost of 6p per recipient. So far so good. Idid not use data when I was abroad as I had the Roaming option off.
When back in the UK I tried to send Multiple Recipeint texts only to find there was a problem.
The recipeint received a message saying that I had sent them a Media Message without the text being included. I incurred a 33p cost per multiple text instead od the texts being free.
I have never paid for texts before as I am on an unlimited text tariff.
Any suggestions other than sending each text individually.
O2 seem to be aware of this issue.
Is it an iOS7 issue, or an iPhone 5 issue?
This was never a problem with my iPhone 3GS.
Many thanks.

I have just read this on the Apple Site:
"iOS: Understanding group messaging
Learn about group messaging.
You can send a message to multiple recipients using SMS, MMS, and iMessage.
Group messaging allows you to send messages to multiple people and have any responses delivered to everyone in the group. Group messaging works with iMessage and MMS.
If you send a message to multiple recipients without group messaging in use by the sender and all recipients, an individual message will go to each recipient using either SMS or MMS. Responses to these messages will be delivered only to the original sender in separate messaging threads."
This would suggest that Multiple Recipient Text do not necessarily need MMS.
It would seem that unless MMS is prevented then Multiple Recipient Texts will default to MMS.
I have switched off data and have been able to send Multiple Recipient Texts which the recipient has been able to read as texts.

How to Improve Design for HTML, Plain Text and Multiple Recipients?

Hello there,
JavaMail programming is so fun! I first start off mixing the JavaMail code inside a servlet and then refactored it to two separate classes.
Mailer is the independent class which uses JNDI to look up config parameters, sends e-mails, and then closes the connection with the protocol.
public class Mailer {
     private Session mailSession;
     protected void sendMsg(String email, String subject, String body)
     throws MessagingException, NamingException {
          Properties props = new Properties();
          InitialContext ictx = new InitialContext(props);
          Session mailSession = (Session) ictx.lookup("java:/Mail");
          String username = (String) props.get("mail.smtps.user");
          String password = (String) props.get("mail.smtps.password");
          MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(mailSession);
          message.setSubject(subject);
          message.setRecipients(javax.mail.Message.RecipientType.TO,
                    javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress.parse(email, false));
          message.setText(body);
          message.saveChanges();
          Transport transport = mailSession.getTransport("smtps");
          try {
               transport.connect(username, password);
               transport.sendMessage(message, message.getAllRecipients());
               Logger.getLogger(this.getClass()).warn("Message sent");
          finally {
               transport.close();
}MailController is just a simple Java servlet where a Mailer object is instantiated and a String is passed inside the Mailer.sendMsg() method.
public class MailController extends HttpServlet {
     /** static final HTML setting for content type */
     private static final String HTML = "text/html";
     myapp/** static final HTML setting for content type */
     private static final String PLAIN = "text/plain";
     public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
     throws ServletException, IOException {
          doPost(request, response);
     public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
     throws ServletException, IOException {
          response.setContentType(PLAIN);
          PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
          String mailToken = TokenUtil.getEncryptedKey();
          String body = "Hello there, " + "\n\n"
                    + "Wanna play a game of golf?" + "\n\n"
                 + "Please confirm: https://localhost:8443/myapp/confirm?token="
                 + mailToken + "\n\n" + "-Golf USA";
          Mailer mailer = new Mailer();
          try {
               mailer.sendMsg("[email protected]", "Golf Invitation!", body);
               out.println("Message Sent");
          catch (MessagingException e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
          catch (NamingException e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
}Have some design issues...
If you can notice, I manually place the body of the e-mail (as a String) from inside the client (in this case, a Java Servlet). Also, I manually have to switch the content type inside the doPost().
Question(s):
(1) How can the Mailer class be set up, so it can send both HTML and plain text messages?
(2) How can the Mailer class be structured to send e-mail to multiple recipients or one user?
(3) Would both of these features / actions require writing two overloaded methods for sendMsg()?
Would appreciate it if someone could help me...
Happy programming,
Michael

Okay, I came up with this single method:
Mailer.java:
public class Mailer
     private Session mailSession;
     protected void sendMessage(String email, String recipient, String subject,
               String plainText, String htmlText)
        throws MessagingException, NamingException
          Properties props = new Properties();
          InitialContext ictx = new InitialContext(props);
          Session mailSession = (Session) ictx.lookup("java:/Mail");
          String username = (String) props.get("mail.smtps.user");
          String password = (String) props.get("mail.smtps.password");
          MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(mailSession);
          InternetAddress from = new InternetAddress(email);
          InternetAddress to = new InternetAddress(recipient);
          message.setSubject(subject);
          message.setFrom(from);
          message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, to);
          Multipart multipart = new MimeMultipart();
          BodyPart messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
          messageBodyPart.setText(plainText);
          multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
          messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
          messageBodyPart.setContent(htmlText, "text/html");
          multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
          message.setContent(multipart);
          Transport transport = mailSession.getTransport("smtps");
          try {
               transport.connect(username, password);
               transport.sendMessage(message, message.getAllRecipients());
               Logger.getLogger(this.getClass()).info("Message sent");
          catch (Throwable t) {
               Logger.getLogger(this.getClass()).error("Unable to Send Message");
               t.printStackTrace();
          finally {
               transport.close();
}Created a MailController class to instantiate and run the Mailer class.
public class MailController extends HttpServlet {
     // doPost() method()
     public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
     throws ServletException, IOException {
          response.setContentType(PLAIN);
          PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
          String mailToken = TokenUtil.getEncryptedKey();
          String plainText = "Hello there, " + "\n\n"
                    + "I wanna invite you to a game of golf!" + "\n\n"
     + "Please confirm: https://localhost:8443/myapp/confirm?token="
                    + mailToken + "\n\n" + "-Golf USA";

          catch (NamingException e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
}Question(s):
(1) How come the Multipart Alternative only supports HTML for the second part? Can I specify it to send HTML first and plainText second?
(2) How would I send in multiple recipients? Would I have to pass in an array reference (surrounded by a for loop) inside sendMessage() as follows:
mailer.sendMessage(from, myArray, subject, plainText, htmlText);
Thank you for all of your help!

How do you respond to multiple recipients on a text message? I can only respond to the sender.

How do you respond to multiple recipients on a text message on the samsung brighside? I can only respond to the sender of the text.

Being that the Brightside is a basic phone, it might not be capable of responding to a group. The option does seem to be there, though - pg. 48 of the user manual:
While viewing a message touch to display available options:
• Reply w. Copy: Reply to the sender, plus other recipients if desired,
and include a copy of the original message.
Using the "More" option, you can apparently add recipients, or reply to more than one.

Text multiple phones

can you send SMS to more than one phone #?
Is there a way to create a group in Contacts?
I just got the phone and love it but i'll be really disappointed if i can't communicate with multiple people without having to create a new text for each one. even my old cheap phone could do that...

No you cannot. I as does many others find it ludicris that Apple ommitted these basic phone features for eample, the ability to send and recieve Multi Media Messages, texting to multiple recipients, creating groups in contacts, simple editing features in email and text, copy and paste, etc. etc. etc. etc......... Thus the reason why I am going back to my Palm Treo 750, a much better and less expensive phone.

Question regarding sending email to multiple recipients

Hi All,
I am creating a workflow that will send an email notification everytime a new campaign is created. I've learned that R16 is capable of sending emails to multiple recipients, the only concern I have is I can't find any doumentation on how to do it. It is stated in the R16 Administrator Preview Guide that you can select 'Specific Email Address' and enter multiple email addresses directly, I tried to enter multiple email addresses separated by comma - [email protected],[email protected],[email protected] as an example, but it doesn't work and prompts me to enter a valid email address. Could anybody guide me on how to enter multiple email addresses once the 'Specific Email Address' is selected or how to do it in the expression builder to define the expression that will define the list of emails. I know that using group email addresses can be used as an alternative to this requirement but I hope theirs a way to do this with workflows.
Thanks,
Wayne

According to the R16 Admin preview guide;-
"Send Email to Multiple Recipients
Expression Builder is now linked to the email address text field that is presented when the Specific Email Address
option is selected. Workflow administrators can enter multiple email addresses directly, or click the "fx" icon
beside the field, and use Expression Builder to define expressions that evaluate to one or more email addresses.
The benefit of this feature is that emails can be stored on any text field in the base record and multiple emails can
be sent using one workflow action. "
But how that works exactly is not clear, I have tried commas, semi-colons, spaces, apostrophes, doublequotes, to separate and try to establish the correct syntax without luck.
Bob - Perhaps you can do some digging and find out the correct syntax for multiple addresses?

N8 sending SMS to multiple recipients as MMS?

If I send an SMS text message to multiple recipients it is being sent as an MMS. Since MMS is not included in my PAYG "goodybag", it's costing me a fortune!
I can't find this in the user guide anywhere. Can I turn it off?
many thanks

While you writing a text message, if you don't add anything photos or smileys (sometimes smileys may have counted as .gif s ), it must be sent as text messages. Or if you choose a recipent that have no phone number but a mail adress, it sends texts to mail adresses as MMS.
Another thing to consider is to check again messaging centers.

On OnPremise, Sending email to multiple recipients doesn't work with SendEmail method

Hi,
We are creating a site collection on OnPremise from App by using Sharepoint Client API's (16 version).
After creation of site collection, we are sending an email to all site collection administrators. But we found that email is being sent to the only first person mentioned in the "To" list. For sending email we are using following method "Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Utilities.Utility.SendEmail()".
We tried different scenarios by passing alternately domain username and email address.
Here are the findings for the different scenarios for the "To" field:
1) "domain\user1; domain\user1" => sends email to first user
2) "[email protected]; [email protected]" => sends email to both emails (at least shows in inbox To field, two occurances of email)
3) "domain\user1; domain\user2" => sends email to first user
4) "[email protected]; [email protected]" => sends email to first user
Here is the code we are using:
EmailProperties properties = new EmailProperties();
properties.To = to.ToList();
if (cc != null)
properties.CC = cc;
properties.Subject = subject;
properties.Body = body;
Utility.SendEmail(context, properties);
context.ExecuteQuery();
Please let us know what is going wrong here.
Thanks in advance for your valuable inputs.

Sending emails with both body and attachment to multiple recipients

I have a requirement to send email with body and attachment to multiple recipients.
Body of the email is a standard text. It is a proxy-to-mail scenario.
Here is what I've done: (I'm using PI 7.11)
One mapping from Source to Target structure (format of the attachment text file)
Second mapping from Target Structure to Mail Package format.
In the second mapping I'm concatenating the output of first step into "Content" of the Mail Package.
"XIPAYLOAD" is the message protocol used.
The "Keep attachments" option in the Mail adapter allows only to send "Content" as attachment or as body of the email.
How to send an email with both content and text?
The other problem is even with using ASMA, I can't send email to multiple recipients. I can only do CC and TO for 1 person each - a total of 2. Although I can resolve this by creating mailing lists, it is better if this can be addressed in PI.
Thanks for any input you can provide!

Thank you for your response Mikael.
For the first question, I was able to find the solution in the following blog:
XI Mail Adapter : Dynamically building attachment and message body content using a simple UDF
(I just needed to search with the right set of key words )
The key is to set the "Content Encoding" as "None" in the mail adapter. If this is not done, the mail will be sent with an attachment - untitled.bin containing both the mail body and the attachment text. Also, don't forget to check the "Keep Attachments" checkbox in the mail adapter.
Multiple recipients could be added by separating the email IDs with a Comma. I have used ASMA to set the recipients.

Send to multiple recipients not in address book

FAQs about sending an email to multiple recipients seem to talk about using names already in one's address book to create a group. I have a text file that contains about 1000 addresses and want to send a one-time message to all of them (with each designed as BCC). How can I move those addresses all together -- or a big batch at a time in several messages -- without involving my address book?

My suggestion is take off your blinkers. DOC is not a text file. It is a Microsoft word document file. The only chance you have of that being understood by a mail program is if you buy Microsoft Outlook.
Otherwise, become familiar with CSV files (Comma Separated Values) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma-separated_values. CSV permeates the entire data interchange process, especially address books, but including database data and spreadsheets. CSV files are text files. Real ones! I talk about them a little here. http://thunderbirdtweaks.blogspot.com.au/2013/03/importing-csv-files.html
If you have Excel installed and double click a CSV file Excel will open the file. I use LibreOffice, but that does not change the fundamentals of the CSV data format.
So I suggest you save your file in Word as "Plain text" and open in in Excel and hope Excel can make heads or tails of it.

Email Payment advice to multiple recipients

I have successfully implemented the function module to allow emailing of payment advices but have a new requirement for the ability to email payment advices to multiple recipients. I am using the communication area in the vendor master maintenance to enter the email addresses. The z_process_2040 function module returns all of the email addresses but I'm looking for suggestions on how to repeat the output for each of the addresses returned. Has anyone done this successfully? Thanks in advance for your help.

Thank you, Naresh, for your suggestion. I will investigate to see if there is a way it can be used for a solution to our situation.

E71 - Problem with multiple recipients selection i...

I can see and mark all contacts on my contact list while in "To" when creating a new text message. However the "OK" button is missing on the left lower corner of the screen while "Back", on the right, is active. I can type in recipients, though this is tedious when I need to select multiple recipients.
Further probing brought up another problem - I can see all my contacts on my phone but cannot find the contact folder nor can I backup my contacts.
Please help ASAP. Thanks & Regards,
Cocoabean

When I add contacts to a blank SMS on my E73, I see a list of people with tick boxes to the left, and OK and Back options at the bottom. I don't need to select anything to make OK and Back selectable. If OK is missing for you, then I'm afraid you found a firmware bug. You could try fixing it with a hard reset or by reflashing the firmware. As a workaround, you can probably shift-select multiple contacts within the Contacts app, then choose Options -> Create Message.

The actual contacts file(s) are stored somewhere in C:\Private and not meant to be accessed. (Private is read-only and usually not viewable at all.) How are you doing the backup? There are several different ways. I typically just use Ovi Suite.

SMTP:
501 #5.5.2 syntax error 'RCPT TO:<[email protected],[email protected]>'
If i seperate with a space or a return, i only send to the first recipient.
In a previous post, i see that user_1 suggests the comma, but it's definately not working for me...

May be a solution for you could be to call this vi in a loop.
Hope it helps.
