Hi Paul,
Thanks for explaining why they use XML format for SMS/MMS backup.
o *My hope is to see images from MMS messages, in the Windows XML editor.*
Regarding why these MMS/SMS backup programs chose XML as their storage
format, I think you're almost certainly correct - as it's a standard
non-proprietary cross-platform 'storage format' that can be easily parsed.
Bear in mind what I was _really_ after, were the MMS pictures, since the
photos sent to me by my kids and grandkids and relatives are the only
things I really care about in SMS/MMS archives.
To be clear, I _already_ autoarchive those photos outside of the MMS
message in which it was contained (the PulseSMS freeware app has a setting
that does just that) - but still - if you're gonna archive MMS/SMS
messages, then I was hoping the _photos_ were inside that XML archive.
When I said the results in Microsoft XML Notepad 2007 were "uninspiring",
what I was _hoping_ to see inside the XML archives in the Windows XML
editor, were those MMS photos, but I didn't see them (I was expecting a
mime-encoded inclusion, for example).
I _still_ don't know if those MMS photos are inside the archive or not, but
if I read the blurb on the tools, they "claim" to archive MMS messages (but
they don't specifically mention the photos).

"SMS Backup & Restore is a simple Android app that backs up and
restores your phone's SMS and *MMS* messages and call logs."
"Backup SMS (text) messages, *MMS* and call logs in XML format."
<https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.idea.backup.smscontacts>
"READ YOUR TEXT MESSAGES (SMS OR *MMS*)/EDIT YOUR TEXT MESSAGES
(SMS OR *MMS*)
These permissions are used to backup & restore your SMS"
My main reason for wanting the XML editor was to "see" those MMS images!
In short, I was "hoping" the Windows XML editor would display the MMS
images, but, so far, I don't know if MMS images are even there or not.

When testing software for the first time, basic confusion often results.
