A method of processing a Multimedia Message Service (MMS) message in a mobile communication terminal is disclosed that includes checking in a media file in the MMS message for whether the message can be processed, when an MMS notification message is received; and retransmitting the MMS notification message to another receiver, when the media file in the MMS message cannot be processed. Even when the capabilities of the receiving terminal prevent viewing of the MMS message in the state that it was sent, the recipient is able to view the MMS message through another terminal or an e-mail address as it was compiled by the sender.
