Default Viewing JPG's attatched to emails

Hi

How can I do this??? The message has been fully downloaded, and I can see the attatchments' icons below the message but... tapping the jpg has no effect, nor does the save as dialogue?? Very annoying!

Any idea's? or is this yet another bug?

Default Not just jpgs

Hi

Its not just .jpg files NO attatchments will open, even simple text or html files. Does the PPC messaging application actually support attatchments???

If someone here CAN view attatchments to emails on their Blue Angel please post. If its possible then my unit must be screwed (hard reset time) but I would rather avoid wasting umpteen hours re-installing after a hard reset if it stands no chance of fixing the problem.

My device is the O2 XDA IIs

Hi There

do you have a little arrow next to each attachment??

are these attachments that are in the email folder that you have Active Sync'd across????

it sounds to me that you haven't set active sync to copy attachments............go to options, inbox, settings......down the bottom you get the chance to copy message attachments across upto a pre-determined size

if it's via pop3 dial / gprs tha tyou can't do it, then it's probably because you have created an account to download message body or headers only....just tap and hold on the appropriate email message and select 'mark for download'

of course, i may be in danger of teaching the proverbial egg sucking !!!

perhaps a hard reset is required....i have had no issues with jpg etc

Hi

This is a POP3 account and the full message has been downloaded, but clicking on the attatchments' icons that appear below the message text has no effect.

I can see the attatchments on the device through the file explorer, and the size is reasonable (though obviously this data is in a format only understood by the mail app). Looks like I will have to do a hard reset.

I have tried and then uninstalled a few apps - looks like on of them failed to leave the device as it found it when it was uninstalled.
