Hi Paul,

Thanks for the hex editor suggestion.

I popped the XML file into hxd which shows pretty clearly there is ASCII
and binary, where the binary is surrounded by <parts>xxx</parts> tags in
some instances.

It "could" be text plus images, where nothing I saw didn't indicate that to
be the case, but of course, I'm reading hex code to determine that.

I was hoping a good XML editor would parse out the photos.
o Maybe I just need a _better_ XML editor for Windows?

However, one slightly indirect option to figure out if the archive contains
images is to delete all the SMS texts on the phone and then try to restore
them, which would be a pain, but it would definitively answer the question
of whether the backed up XML archives contain MMS images.

But that's why I asked for an XML editor to read the XML archive file! 
o I'm assuming a good XML editor would be able to parse the XML file.

There are so many ways to back up Android to Windows that it's confusing.
