      Description: MiMMS isn't an MMS Message Sender, it's an MMS (e.g. mms://) stream downloader.
      Long Description: MiMMS is a program designed to allow you to download streams using the MMS protocol and save them to your computer, as opposed to watching them live. Similar functionality is available in full media player suites such as Xine and MPlayer, but MiMMS is quick and easy to use, and for the time being, remains a useful program.
