Among the types of attachments you can receive are the following handheld
application files:
■
Address Book entries
■

■
Text memos
You can also save downloaded files to an expansion card. See
later in this chapter for information.
NOTE
The maximum message size that you can retrieve is 60KB for the body text
and 2MB total, including attachments. If the attachment is too large, it cannot be
downloaded to the handheld.
Text (.txt)
This is usually a memo or another plain text file.
HTML (.html or
.htm)
Usually a web page or a formatted text file. Your handheld
displays HTML attachments with full formatting intact.
Microsoft Word
(.doc)
The formatting is stripped and the text of most Microsoft Word
documents is shown.
JPG (.jpg), bitmap
(.bmp), and TIFF
(.tif) tiles
These are graphics files. You can download these files and view
them using the Photo Viewer application on your handheld.
Other application
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 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. Among
the file types that may be supported are GIF, MP3, and AAC
files.
NOTE
Your handheld requires an expansion card, sold
separately, to store and play MP3 files.
PRC (.prc)
This is a Palm OS
®
application that you can install and run on
your handheld.
PDB (.pdb)
This is a file that works with specific Palm OS applications.
