Send email messages from within another application

Use the share feature in any application that supports this to send an item as an attachment to an email message. This feature is available in the Adobe Reader and Memos applications, among others. Depending on the app, this feature may be accessed from a menu that might be named Share, Send, or Email, or it might be accessed from an icon. For details, see the section in this guide on the specific application.

Messaging: All messages in one application

What kinds of messages can I send and receive?

You can use the Messaging application to send and receive the following types of messages:

•Instant messages for an IM account you already have set up online (see Set up an instant messaging (IM) account). Instant messaging is available only when your device is connected to a Wi-Fi network (see Connect to a new open network or Connect to a new secure network).

•Text messages (see Create and send a text message). This feature is available only if your device is connected to a compatible HP webOS smartphone (see Connect your device to a webOS smartphone).

The Synergy feature enables the Messaging app to gather all your messages to and from the same contact into a single conversation (sometimes called a “thread”). So you can see your entire message history with someone regardless of the different methods you happened to use to communicate with that person (see Work with conversations). You can even switch from account to account (and, if your device is connected to a compatible webOS smartphone, from IM to text messaging) without losing the thread of your conversation (see Switch between messaging accounts in a conversation)—just pick the messaging account that’s most likely to keep you in unbroken contact with the person you’re talking to.

Work with conversations

When you exchange more than one message with a person, the messages are grouped into a conversation. When you start or continue a conversation, the upper part of Conversations view displays all messages you’ve exchanged with this person, and the bottom part provides the area where you type your next message.

You can carry on multiple conversations at the same time.

TIP You can copy the contents of a conversation as plain text, which you can paste in a memo, email message, and so on (see Copy messages).

TIP If your device is connected to a compatible webOS smartphone, a single conversation can contain text and IM messages (see Connect your device to a webOS smartphone).

The conversations list shows all of your Messaging conversations, the buddies list shows all of your IM buddies, and the favorites list shows all contacts that you have added to Favorites.
