CHAPTER 16 Sending and Receiving Email Messages
Cont’d Maximum message size Enter the maximum size of an incoming email
message in kilobytes (KB). The maximum size of an incoming message is
5KB by default, but you can enter any size up to 5000KB (approximately
5 megabytes, or 5MB), including attachments. The maximum message size
that you can retrieve is 60KB for the body text and approximately 5MB of total
data for any attachments.
Message Format Select to retrieve messages in HTML or plain text format.
If you select HTML, any messages sent to you in HTML format are displayed
with basic HTML formatting intact. Other messages are displayed as plain text.
If you select Plain Text, all messages are displayed as plain text, regardless of
the format in which they were sent. The default setting is HTML.
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.
Done
Did You Know?
Basic HTML includes
bold, italics (small font
only), colored words,
bulleted and numbered
lists, and so on.
In an HTML message,
certain types of graphics
(for example, JPEG or GIF
files) may be displayed as
a URL in the body of the
email message. In some
cases, you can select the
URL to open the graphic.
Tip
Because downloading
large messages can
consume handheld
resources, the VersaMail
application displays the
size of the message and
asks if you want to
continue downloading
any message that
exceeds your maximum
message size, up to a
total size of 5MB.
