Turn off support for rich text formatting and inline
images in email messages for users on a BlackBerry
Enterprise Server
You can prevent the BlackBerry Enterprise Server from sending email messages that contain HTML and rich content to
BlackBerry devices. When you turn off rich text formatting, the BlackBerry Enterprise Server sends all email messages in
plain text format. You can also prevent the BlackBerry Enterprise Server from sending email messages that contain inline
images to BlackBerry devices.
If you turn off support for rich content and inline images, you reduce the resource consumption on the computers that are
running the messaging server, BlackBerry Attachment Service, and BlackBerry MDS Connection Service.
