Chapter 16 Using Palm™ VersaMail™ Personal E-mail Software
198
Depending on whether the received message is displayed in HTML or plain text
format, URLs and e-mail addresses appear in slightly different forms, as follows:
Working with attachments
You can easily download, view, and send attachments with e-mail messages.
Downloading attachments to your handheld
E-mail may contain attached files, such as Microsoft Word or text files, that you
want to view or install on your handheld. When you receive an e-mail message
with an attached file, the VersaMail application automatically scans your handheld
to see if an application resides on the handheld that can open the attachment. If the
VersaMail application detects such an application, the attachment automatically
opens in the appropriate application.
The types of attached files you can download and work with include the following:
HTML
URLs and e-mail addresses appear as blue underlined text.
Plain text
URLs appear as any text beginning with “http://” or “www.” You
cannot view the page or file associated with a URL that does not
begin with “http://” or “www” in a plain text message.
E-mail addresses appear in the form
“username@mailservice.com” (or other three-letter extension such
as .net, .org, and so on).
