Plain text and HTML e-mail
By default, the VersaMail application is set to receive mail in HTML format. This
means that any e-mail messages sent as HTML will be displayed on your handheld
with basic HTML formatting intact, including the following:
■ Boldface
■ Italics
■ Underlining
■ Colored words
■ Bullet lists
■ Numbered lists
■ Line breaks
Formatting not displayed (for example, certain types of graphics) is received as an
attachment that can be downloaded and viewed.
When you set the VersaMail application to receive e-mail messages as HTML, any
messages sent as plain text will be displayed as plain text only. You can also 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 will be displayed. See “Setting preferences for getting and
