About attachments
Address book attachments enable recipients of
your messages to view and add contacts to their
handheld address books. When you open a
message that contains an address book
attachment, a book icon appears at the bottom of
the message with the name of the attached
contact.
You can view certain types of file attachments on
your handheld, including .zip, .htm, .html, .doc,
.dot, .ppt, .pdf, .wpd, .txt, and .xls files. You can
also view .bmp, .gif, .jpg, .png, .tif image
attachments.
A message with a file attachment appears in the
messages list with a paperclip icon.
