Group messages coming in as HTML or Base 64

Hey all,

This morning, I started receiving messages containing either HTML or Base64 code, along with a bunch of extra information. One such message (one that seemed focused on Base64) looks like this:

--Nokia-mm-messageHandler-BoUnDaRy-=_-396604176 Content-Id: 0.smil Content-Type: application/smil;Name="123_1.smil" Content-Transfer-Encoding: BASE64 PHNtaWw+CjxoZWFkPgo8bGF5b3V0PgogPHJvb3QtbGF5b3V0Lz4KPHJlZ2lvbiBpZD0iVGV4dCIg dG9wPSI3MCUiIGxlZnQ9IjAlIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjMwJSIgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGZpdD0ic2Nyb2xs Ii8+CjxyZWdpb24gaWQ9IkltYWdlIiB0b3A9IjAlIiBsZWZ0PSIwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSI3MCUiIHdp ZHRoPSIxMDAlIiBmaXQ9Im1lZXQiLz4KPC9sYXlvdXQ+CjwvaGVhZD4KPGJvZHk+CjxwYXIgZHVy PSIxMHMiPgo8dGV4dCBzcmM9InRleHRfMC50eHQiIHJlZ2lvbj0iVGV4dCIvPgo8L3Bhcj4KPC9i b2R5Pgo8L3NtaWw+Cg== --Nokia-mm-messageHandler-BoUnDaRy-=_-396604176 Content-Id: 0 Content-Type: text/plain;Charset="US-ASCII";Name="text_0.txt" Content-Disposition: Attachment; Filename=text_0.txt; Charset=US-ASCII Content-Location: text_0.txt Content-Transfer-Encoding: BASE64 SXQncyBjb29rZXJzIGJ0dw== --Nokia-mm-messageHandler-BoUnDaRy-=_-396604176--

This text simply said "It's cookers btw"

Another message I received came in HTML with extra information, as follows:

--__CONTENT_64564_PART_BOUNDARY__33243242__ Content-Id: <0.smil> Content-Type: application/smil;Name="123_1.smil" Content-Location: 0.smil Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit <smil> <head> <layout> <root-layout width="240" height="160"/> <region id="Image" width="100%" height="67%" left="0%" top="0%" fit="meet"/> <region id="Text" width="100%" height="33%" left="0%" top="67%" fit="meet"/> </layout> </head> <body> <par dur="8000ms"><text src="text_0.txt" region="Text"/></par></body> </smil> --__CONTENT_64564_PART_BOUNDARY__33243242__ Content-Id: <0> Content-Type: text/plain;Charset="us-ascii";Name="text_0.txt" Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="text_0.txt" Content-Location: text_0.txt Not lou's --__CONTENT_64564_PART_BOUNDARY__33243242__--

This text just said "Not lou's"

This is occurring in group texts where not all users have iMessage. Any idea why this could be the case? Thanks!

Anyone heard anything new with this? It's been around 2 weeks since the last update. I am experiencing this exact issue as well.

I am using an iPhone 5, just updated to iOS 8.2, I use AT&T for cell phone data.

MMS group texting is no longer working. I can still receive group texting from all iPhones, aka group iMessaging.

But when it says group MMS on the top of the message group, I receive NO messages.

I have tried force close, turning off, resetting the phone data, nothing is working
