Attachments
When you send an attached file, such as a Pocket Word file,
be sure the recipient can read the file type you are sending.
Pocket Word files (.pwd) can only be read by other Windows
CE devices such as the HP Jornada. You can choose to save
the file as .txt or .rtf if you are unsure, or you can choose to
save the file as a Word file (.doc). For information about the
file types associated with a particular program, refer to the
Pocket Office
section in chapter 5.
When a binary file is sent over the Internet as an attach-
ment to an e-mail message, the file must be encoded/
decoded by the mail servers. Inbox supports the use of
MIME encoding for binary attachments; however, you
must be sure that both the sender±s and the recipient±s
mail servers also support MIME. If your mail server does
not support MIME encoding, file attachments that you
receive may be corrupted or even cause your HP Jornada
to freeze. If you experience problems sending or receiving
file attachments, or if you are not sure whether your mail
server supports MIME, check with your ISP or network
administrator.
By default, Inbox will not use MIME when sending attach-
ments. To turn on MIME encoding, tap
Options
on the
Services
menu, select the service, tap
Properties
, tap
Next
, and then select the
Send using MIME format
check box.
