Among the types of attachments you can receive are the following handheld
application files:
■ Address Book entries
■ Date Book appointments
■ To Do list items
■ Text and Voice Memos
You can also save downloaded files—including files contained in a compressed
ZIP file—to an expansion card. See “Saving attachments to an expansion card”
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.
JPEG files (.jpg
These are graphics files. You can download these files and view
them using the PhotoBase 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, WAV, and
AAC 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™ applications.
ZIP (.zip)
These are compressed files that contain other types of files, for
example, text files or Word docs. You can download and
uncompress (“unzip”) a ZIP file, then view the contents on
your handheld.
