MMS not backing up correctly. Shows as SMS with unknown.

[spinncity]

I have an Android Samsung S5 Active. I have not had any issues with this up till now. For some reason MMS just started not backing up correctly. It backs up to my Gmail as "SMS with unknown". The messages are all MMS from multiple contacts. The contacts are in my address book yet it shows unknown. It is backing them all up together. Please tell me how to fix this

As an addition to the above, I just had a group text with two other contacts that were MMS and they backed up as SMS with the named contacts no problem. It seems inconsistent. I thought it was only doing the "unknown" thing with long text messages that convert to MMS or Text messages with photos attached, that's not the case. It seems inconsistent. Making me crazy breaking up conversations. Any assistance in fixing this issue is appreciated. Thank you.

Edit: Same problem as "MMS oddities #663"

Hi,

I have a similar problem.

⇒ In my following description:

• I am talking about the Gmail mails sent by your application, and only when sending a MMS with a picture.
• "" is my first and last names associated with my phone number (from Contacts).
• "" is the fist and last names corresponding to the phone number I sent the MMS; this is never myself (I never send me MMS).

⇒ Some emails have an object which is "SMS with " (this is wrong), and some others have "SMS with " (this is correct). The attached picture of the wrong mails is always named image000000.jpg (this should be a default temporary name when when attaching a picture to an MMS). The attached picture of the correct ones has a real name (as 20160921_1409121.jpg, IMG-201611.jpg, or photo01.jpg) which correspond to picture which is in my smartphone.

Thanks to fix it, Michel.

@spinncity could you share some headers from the backed up emails (anonymized of course)?

I'm sorry, I'm not very well versed in this stuff. I just know when I have a problem. If you can be more specific I will provide whatever it is you need to assist in fixing the problem.

This one is good:

In fact, my problem is rather https://github.com/jberkel/sms-backup-plus/issues/663 because the SMS is logged as being sent to myself (and not to unknown, which is the object of this issue).
