CHAPTER 18 Sending and Receiving E-mail Messages

Selecting whether to receive messages as HTML or plain text

By default, the VersaMail application is set to receive mail in HTML format. This means that any e- mail messages sent as HTML are displayed on your handheld with basic HTML formatting intact, including the following:

•Boldface

•Italics

•Underlining

•Colored words

•Bullet lists

•Numbered lists

•Line breaks

For certain types of graphics (for example, JPEG or GIF files), the graphic may be displayed as a URL in the body of the e-mail message. In some cases, you can tap the URL to open the graphic.

Messages sent as plain text are displayed as plain text only, and any text stripped of its HTML formatting is displayed as plain text as well. You can set the application to receive all messages as plain text only, regardless of the format in which they were sent. If you choose this option, only the text of any messages sent in HTML format is displayed.

NOTE The VersaMail application sends all messages as plain text only, with all HTML tags stripped, even if you are forwarding or replying to a message that was originally received as HTML.
