Before the froyo update I had the option to "preview" or "download" for media files, but now it only shows "preview". Tried opening and hitting menu to see if its just buried now.

My question is....if I can find the .apk for the newest version of gmail (from before froyo) and install it on froyo, are there any issues that could possibly arise?

still no copy and paste in the native gmail... i dont get it
Yes you can. Go into a message, hit menu button, select "more" or whatever its called, and there's an option to select text.


I prefer the way dolphin HD browser does it...

Downloaded and installed, didn't fix the issue outlined in my original post.

Any other ideas? How do I save files (not pictures) that are emailed?

Don't think you can (unfortunately). I tried to download a .txt and .zip file and wasn't able to d/l either. I tried everything I could.

The most I could do was preview the .txt.

Not sure why they wouldn't allow this (perhaps security?), but they should definitely allow the option to d/l stuff.
