NOTE The maximum message size that you can retrieve using a Palm Wireless
connection is 60KB for the body text and any attachments. The maximum message

To view an attachment:
1. In the Inbox, tap the message that has an attached file.
A paper clip icon appears on the message’s icon if there is an attachment.
If you choose to get messages by subject only, you must tap More for each
downloaded message, so that you can view the body of the e-mail message plus
any attachments.
Other application
files (such as
graphics files)
For other types of application files, your handheld may contain
a viewer that allows other applications to pass it a file for
viewing. For example, your handheld may contain an image
viewer that allows another application to pass it a JPEG or GIF
attachment for viewing. You do not need to do anything
different in the steps for downloading and viewing attachments;
if your handheld contains such a viewer, the attachment is
automatically opened. If your handheld does not contain such a
viewer, you cannot view the attachment.
