pdQmail Shortcuts

pdQmail includes shortcuts that give you quick access to menu options.

Shortcuts, entered using Graffiti script, appear to the right of applicable

menu options.

To use a shortcut:

Write / and then the letter that corresponds to the shortcut you want

to use in the left side of the Graffiti writing area.

Managing pdQmail Attachments

If an incoming message includes an attachment, pdQmail displays only the

name and file extension of the file but will not deliver the attachment

because of the file size limitation of the pdQ smartphone. Attachment

information is usually at the end of a message. If there is more than one file

attached to the message, pdQmail provides information only on the first

one. You need to open attachments from the application after downloading

them to your computer.

Working with Different Types of Text

pdQmail displays plain, “text/enriched,” and Hyper Text Markup Language

(HTML) text and saves it until you perform HotSync. pdQmail also:

■ Converts HTML to plain text

■ Handles sets and encodings for U.S. English and many European

languages

■ Handles a limited amount of Unencode (an encoding type)

When sending HTML formatted e-mail, usually two copies of the message are

included, the first in plain text, the second in HTML formatted text. When

pdQmail encounters this, it displays the text version of the message if the

HTML formatted text has not been completely retrieved. Then, if you retrieve

the rest of the message, the message text you see won’t change, but you

will see the added HTML formatted text.
