CHAPTER 16

Sending and Receiving Email Messages

Cont’d

Maximum message size

Enter the maximum size of an incoming email 

message in kilobytes (KB). The maximum size of an incoming message is 

5KB by default, but you can enter any size up to 5000KB (approximately 

5 megabytes, or 5MB), including attachments. The maximum message size 

that you can retrieve is 60KB for the body text and approximately 5MB of total 

data for any attachments. 

Message Format

Select to retrieve messages in HTML or plain text format. 

If you select HTML, any messages sent to you in HTML format are displayed 

with basic HTML formatting intact. Other messages are displayed as plain text. 

If you select Plain Text, all messages are displayed as plain text, regardless of 

the format in which they were sent. The default setting is HTML.

 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.

Done

Did You Know?

Basic HTML includes 

bold, italics (small font 

only), colored words, 

bulleted and numbered 

lists, and so on.

In an HTML message, 

certain types of graphics 

(for example, JPEG or GIF 

files) may be displayed as 

a URL in the body of the 

email message. In some 

cases, you can 

select the 

URL

 to open the graphic.

Tip

Because downloading 

large messages can 

consume handheld 

resources, the VersaMail 

application displays the 

size of the message and 

asks if you want to 

continue downloading 

any message that 

exceeds your maximum 

message size, up to a 

total size of 5MB.
