Hi!
I have a WM 5 phone, but from the active sync, it defaulted to TEXT only email messages. My question is whether it is possible to read HTML emails, perhaps thru some registry edit? Hope to get some light from you guys.
thks.
Sorry mate....you're outta luck with WM5...here's a snippet from a "What's new in Windows Mobile 6.0" document....
Windows Mobile 6 allows you to read HTML emails including all their graphics, formatting and even hyperlinks. On all other device platforms this comes through as plain text with HTML code in the email.
HTH,
Mark.

Hi, i have a simple chat style sms application i am using on my T-Mobile SDA and i would like to port it to T-Mobile DASH. What should be the Form size so that it would fit the DASH screen?
The screen on a Dash is 320x240 pixels large, and after the browser steals viewing space the user gets about 300x220ish or so in usable space. If you need to do specific testing simply PM me and I would be more than willing to help out and give screen shots on how things look. If you wish to work independently you might want to look into the Microsoft emulators which have been made by Microsoft so people can emulate smart phone devices for testing programs and sites for this exact purpose.
thanks for the quick reply I will try to create blank form and PM you ASAP. I have just bought my excalibur online and havent received it yet so i cant test it on an actual unit.
Is this app a 'replacement' for the messaging account in outlook? Or will the messages continue to go to the existing inbox. Also, is MMS supported? I have waited so long for an app as good as the Palm Messaging beta, created specifically for a smartphone.
Orientation Aware Control
Hey oldsap,
I'm a mobile developer by trade and if you're looking for a flexible way to handle resolutions etc to make you're app a little more portable, take a look at the Orientation Aware Control that microsoft's patterns and practices group created:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa480471.aspx
It can be downloaded from codeplex. Basically, you create a single form and it uses a resource file to store settings for various resolutions (control layout etc). No more need to make multiple copies of a form for each resolution you want to support. Good luck, hope that helps!

for the time being, ive created this to intercept all incoming sms so that they wont go to the inbox. But i can re-code it so that when a new sms arrives:
1. sms wont go to the existing inbox
2. sms will go to both the application AND inbox
it's not a perfect chat style application but it works well for me.
im still waiting for my DASH to arrive (ordered it from ebay) When i have ported it to DASH, ill post it here

Thanks for the tip sir. I'll read about this. Im just a newbie programmer and can only create very very simple applications
I would have to say that a threaded SMS app is not simple!

i refer to my application as "simple" compared to PALM's threaded sms because it only uses Textbox instead of XML. It doesnt use colored fonts to distinguish sent and received sms. But it does have other features like save chat window, group sending, sms sent counter, sms filtering, etc
hello,
basically i want to ask is there anyway to disable the privacy protection settings in wM6 outlook. I want outlook to automatically download all the pictures in the email without my permission. Is it possible???
Thanks in advance
I'd like to download images automatically too without going through the options. What security issues are there about automatically downloading images?

1. What does this have to do with windows mobile 6
2. What does this have to do wth a Hermes
3. What does this have to do with a PDA
4. HTTP://WWW.GOOGLE.COM
4.1 Maby an off topic post
And in response to the question when you download a image from a server the server knows the fact that you requested the image.
Also you can actually put info into the image url eg : www.spammer.com/[email protected]
This then shows the spammer that the email [email protected] is active cause an e-mail client (outlook) downloaded the picture.

Knbhead!
1. outlook in WM6 can display full html emails, the 1st time a M$ mobile operating system can do this.
2. WM6 is now on the Hermes
3. Hermes is a PDA
The rest of your reply was an intelligent answer to a good question. Thanks.
This forum might as well shut down if a good question asked for the first time that affects a lot of people is flamed, we don't need xda-developers because we can spend hours going through Google for different questions instead of finding all the great advice in one place. What is the point of this forum if if we can't ask for help?

Dont know about you but my 2007 exchange downloads all the pics before i even opne the email.
Has anyone figured this out yet? I do know that Exchange will download the pictures but the POP3 will not automatically download. I have searched exstensivly with no luck.
I had the same problem with my POP3 account from Yahoo. There is an option in the Yahoo account (on the Yahoo server) to block images for privacy reasons, etc. I had to log in to my Yahoo account from my desktop, switch to the Yahoo Classic version (not the beta), then click options, then it is the 3rd page of the SPAM settings. Apparently it also affects emails that are sent to the mobile device. Hope this helps, even if you use another mail provider.
I use the HTC email client for Exchange email and want to try to set the font to the same I use on my regular computer. I use Arial 10 for emails on my laptop, but this client keeps setting emails/replies to Times New Roman 12.
Can't understand why manufacturers can't understand that this is important to many business users, especially since it would be relatively easy to implement in the software. (Another owner and I modified the Roadsync software that came with our Samsung Omnia HDs to change the font with a hack and it turns out the phone doesn't need the actual font installed, it's just a specification line in the html header for the email that gets adjusted.)
Still, hoping against hope that there's already a solution out there.
Does anybody know of a way to change the font of new emails and replies to emails in the HTC email client?
I want to bump this one now that we'll be able to get root access to our Desires.
Unless somebody comes up with an easier solution, I'm hoping that we'll be able to find some kind of resource file related to the HTC email app stating:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
That we could mod to something like this:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="Windows-1252"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
Since getting the phone, I've been using the regular Sense Exchange email client and have been very happy with it with this one exception.
While most of my clients use the Outlook 2007 font standard of Calibri 11pt and some use the old standard of Arial 10pt, NONE use Times New Roman unless their using plain text rather than HTML emails.
An important part of freeing oneself from the desk or office is being able to seemlessly move around without shouting to the world "I'm not in my office", which many interpret as "I'm not at work". Responding to emails in a clearly mobile format, plain text or something that looks like plain text is not consistent with that, so why on earth have HTC chosen to use a font in HTML email responses or new emails that looks like plain text? Without the option of changing it?
I got tired of waiting for something to happen with the HTC app, so I reviewed the user manuals of Moxier Mail, RoadSync and Touchdown. I discovered that Touchdown allows you to adjust the font however you want in the settings. While the header of the last email sent is still in Times New Roman (if you include the email history), the body of your email from the Desire (or other Android phone) is adjusted to what you want. The rest of the app takes a little getting used to, but while different is at least as good as the built-in Sense client.
So now I'm happy to say that I'm able to send and respond to emails from my Desire using Calibri 11pt, the same as my office computer.
Anyone have any new information or found a fix for receiving HTML email in the stock HTC mail client? From what I understand Exchange ActiveSync 2007 works but not 2003. Is this correct? I've used TouchDown (which works with 2003) but I prefer the interface of the stock client.
Thanks for reading...
This is important to me.
I want to reply to emails that give the appearance of writing from my desk. Some people do question your efficiency if you often appear to be mobile.

It think that depends on who you interface with, I've typed:
---
Sent via mobile phone
...before from my desktop to give a short answer as I look into something. But I think you should generally stick to the 5 sentences rule, or better yet 3 sentence rule.
Emails should be just a little more than a text mssg would be. Short, concise and convenient.
Touchdown has the option not to add your signature, just uncheck it...did you try that? Just sayin.
Hope you find a way, I'm on 2003 too.
Cheers
Actually, I practice that. The only thing that resembles the fact that I'm on a cellphone is that it's not html.
I often reply to comments on Facebook by simply replying to notification emails.
Some of Facebook’s notification emails are plain text, while others are full HTML.
When I reply to HTML emails, part of the code ends up in the comment i.e. <font><>blah blah blah</><screw this crap<<.> My comment.
There are no problems replying to plain text emails.
1.Has anyone else found this?
2.Is there a way to force the WP7 email programme to use plain text when replying?
Or
3. Is there a setting in Facebook so that all emails are plain text?
Yes I have noticed it as well and it is very annoying. With the new Facebook messages, you can reply to facebook messages by just replying to the notification email. Even when using that, it always puts up as <HTML></HTML> format.
The only reason I currently need to open to facebook app is just to reply to the facebook messages. I would much love to reply using email.

Yeah, super annoying.
I'm going to report this bug to the Windows Phone people.
If you could cut & paste a comment with the HTML crap to this thread, I'll include it in the error report (I've deleted mine).
On a positive note, now that I've been granted my @facebook.com email address, I can now reply to messages from my Windows Live email.
Here's the offending code:
<HTML><HEAD>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=utf-8"></HEAD>
<BODY>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; FONT-FAMILY: Calibri,sans-serif">My comment. <BR><BR>More of my comment<BR><BR> </DIV>
<HR>
BTW - when you reply to Facebook messages from your WP7, you also get the HTML code.
It's ironic - the WP7 has the best mobile based email programme available, yet I can't use it to the same extent as I did on WinMo 6.1.
