Note

■Send mail first: Check to have Pylon send any Mail drafts before it syncs your Lotus Notes Mail with your device Inbox.

■Sync only unread: Check to have Pylon sync only the unread Mail in your Lotus Notes Mail application.

Read all the notes and cautions that follow below before finalizing your Attachment types to sync settings.

■Attachment types to sync:

-Word: Check to enable, uncheck to disable, syncing of Microsoft Word (*.doc and *.rtf) attachments.

-append as text: Check to enable conversion of Word attachments to text that is appended to the message body; uncheck to keep the Word document as a separate attachment.

-Excel: Check to enable, uncheck to disable, syncing of Microsoft Excel (*.xsl) attachments.

If you select append as text for Word documents, and an incoming message has a Word attachment that is too large to fit within the operating system’s email message size limitation, none of the attachment is appended to the message body.

When a Word file is appended to the message body as text, it takes up less memory on the device, but you should be aware of the following:

-In the body of the email you will see the file name of the attachment, followed by its content, without any formatting.

-If you reply to or forward the email from your device, the new email message will also contain the text of the attachment.

-The size of the email with the attachment cannot exceed the size limit for an email message, which is set by the device OS. The message size limit is 32KB on a Palm OS device, and 2MB on a Pocket PC OS device. A longer email will appear truncated.

-Graphics will appear as placeholders.

-Foreign characters are supported.

-Complex or older Microsoft Word documents may not display properly.

On Palm OS devices, Attachment types to sync settings for attachments that are not appended as text are only supported on Palm OS v4.0 and higher. For messages forwarded from the Palm mail client, Pylon automatically reattaches server-based attachments from the original message to the forwarded mail message if the original message’s attachments were not downloaded to the mobile device.

On a Palm OS device, in order to view attached Microsoft Word or Excel files, you must have DataViz Documents To Go, version 4, 5, 6, or 7 installed. You may order DataViz software from http:// www.dataviz.com/products/documentstogo/index.html. Pocket PC OS devices come with comparable software pre-installed. If you already have the DataViz software installed, you will see the Word To Go and Sheet To Go applications listed on your Palm device.
