Email attachments
As well as receiving simple text email, the e-m@iler is also capable of receiving a
limited number of attached file types. It can receive and display one of three popular
types of graphic image: GIF, JPEG and Windows™ BMP. It can also receive and play
certain types of recorded sound file if they are in Windows™ WAV format.
♦ Note that graphics or sound attachments larger than 200kB may not be receivable
by the
e-m@iler.
For graphics attachments, files of any dimension and colour resolution can be
received, but they will be reduced in size and resolution to fit within the 480 pixel wide
screen of the e-m@iler. The picture(s) will always be displayed below any text in the
email.
The
e-m@iler can display both single frame and multi-frame (animated GIF) files but the
latter will not display correctly if transparency has been used (which is usually the case
if the animation has been 'optimised'). The JPEG picture support cannot handle
progressive JPEG images (however, most normal JPEG images should display
correctly).
For sound attachments, although the Windows™ WAV file format can support a large
number of different encoding schemes within the file, note that only the simpler type of
sound file (Microsoft Linear PCM 8kHz/8 bit mono) will play correctly on the
e-m@iler.
Note, when the e-m@iler creates an outgoing WAV file (as a VoiceMail attachment), it
uses Microsoft Linear PCM 8kHz/8 bit mono.
If you attempt to display any other type of attached file (such as Word™
documents or Excel™ spread-sheets), a large question mark will be
displayed within the message (sometimes showing the original name of the
file). If you receive such an attachment, you should ask the sender to re-
send the information in a plain, text-only format.
If you have added the CopyMail feature (information on
page 133) to copy all your
email to a PC, then attachments which cannot be viewed or heard on the e-mailer may
be opened on the PC instead.
