subjectMatchstick Message #15: Please Thread SMS and MMS Messages Together




Dear RIM,


Thank you for updating SMS with threaded message view. It really is such a life-improving update that we can see our recent SMS history in chronological, space-saving, auto-updating order. The only problem I have is that Picture Messages aren't included in those threads.


Why? They are from the same person. There may be a technical difference in they way they are transmitted or stored (I don't know anything about this, to be honest) but regardless, users perceive MMS just as SMS but with pictures. And when a picture is sent, it is often in the context of a conversation happening over SMS. So from the perspective of the user, it doesn't make sense for that picture not to be in the thread.

RIM, please allow all SMS and MMS messages with a specific contact to be threaded together.



Sincerely,




Tara Raffi
