I checked the email prefs and I don't see anything about choosing whether to automatically download attachments vs email body vs headers only, etc., as I've seen on old PalmOS email apps.

Huh. Not sure. I have to initiate downloads of all my attachments. By default attachment placeholders appear, but I still have to click on them and wait for them to download before I can actually view them. A good thing IMO, I don't want any phone wasting bandwidth on huge attachments that I will probably never open on my phone anyway. I have Exchange 2003 backend.

Hi Sam, I'm not sure what you mean. For me, email attachments download automatically along with the body of the email message. Sometimes, if they're large, it takes a few minutes for attachments to fully download, but it's always an automatic thing. I have never had to initiate a download for an attachment. Once downloaded, attached files appear in a list under the Subject Line. Perhaps there's an email preference that can be set to allow attachments to download automatically or not? Or perhaps it makes a difference what kind of email account or service you're using? I'm using POP3 from a local ISP.

Attachments don't download by default. As before, you still have to initiate the download. However, now in 1.4, after you initiate the download the attachment will open automatically, saving another keystroke. I think it's great.

In reviewing Sprint's Feature Changes list for the webOS 1.4 update, I spotted this: << When you receive a message with one or more attached files, the first file to be fully downloaded opens automatically. >> I don't think I'd necessarily want that to happen with certain attachments in a public place!!! I want to control if and when I open an attachment. Can someone with a Sprint Pre confirm if attachments really open automatically? For your reference the URL for the list is shown below.
