CHAPTER 18 Sending and Receiving E-mail Messages
Working with attachments
You can easily download, view, and send attachments with e-mail messages.
Downloading an attachment 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 a message that has an attachment, the VersaMail
application scans your Handheld to see if you have an application that can open the attachment. If
so, you can open the attachment
with the application.
Here are the kinds of attached files you can work with:
vCard (VCF) This is contact information. Open these files in the Contacts application on your
handheld.
vCal/iCal (VCS or ICS) This is usually a calendar appointment or a task. Open these files in the
Calendar or Tasks application on your handheld.
Te x t ( T X T) This is usually a memo or another plain text file. Open these files in the Memos
application on your handheld.
HTML (HTML or HTM) This is usually a web page or a formatted text file. Open these files in the
palmOne Web Pro
application on your handheld. Your handheld displays HTML attachments with
full formatting intact.
Microsoft Word (DOC) Open these files in the Documents To Go application on your handheld.
(Application must be installed from the CD
.)
Microsoft Excel (.XLS) Open these files in the Documents To Go application on your handheld.
(Application must be installed from the CD
.)
Graphics files (JPG, BMP, TIF, GIF) Open these files in the palmOne™ Media application on your
handheld.

the handheld. You can
download a maximum of
10 attachments for any
received messages,
regardless of message
size.
