I am quite new to Ethereal and found a problem I cannot solve. Using the Nokia EAIF (MMS Creating) Emulator on one machine, I send a valid MMS to another machine which runs an MMS Server. Then the communication between the
computers gets captured using the "host" capture filter.
The problem is that the content of the messages are shown in a field called Data (below Frame <n>, Ethernet II, Internet Protocol, Transmission Control Protocol) but this data (which is fragmented to multiple frames) never gets
decoded as MMS.

Ethereal has an MMSE dissector (packet-mmse.c) for MMS encapsulation running over WSP and over HTTP. Is MMSE the encapsulation of MMS being used here and, if so, is it running directly over TCP?
