Chapter 16 Using Palm™ VersaMail™ Personal E-mail Software 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: s Boldface s Italics s Underlining s Colored words s Bullet lists s Numbered lists s Line breaks Most formatting not displayed is stripped of its HTML tags and shown as plain text. For certain types of graphic images (for example, JPEG or GIF files), the graphic may be displayed as a URL in the body of the e-mail message. In some cases, you can tap the URL to open the graphic image. See "Working with URLs" later in this chapter for more information. 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. NOTE 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. To select whether to receive e-mail messages in HTML or in plain text format: 1. Tap the Menu icon , select Options, and then select Preferences. 2. Tap the Receive Format pick list, and then select HTML or Plain Text. The default is HTML. 3. Tap OK. 176
