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.
