To change the default settings, or to set options for retrieving file attachments and meeting requests, tap Options on the Services menu, select the service you want to modify, and then tap Properties. Inbox displays three tabs with options for the selected service.

Attachments

When you send an attached file, such as a Pocket Word file, be sure the recipient can read the file type you are sending. Pocket Word files (.pwd) can only be read by other Windows CE devices such as the HP Jornada. You can choose to save the file as .txt or .rtf if you are unsure, or you can choose to save the file as a Word file (.doc). For information about the file types associated with a particular program, refer to the Pocket Office section in chapter 5.
