Attachment Retrieval
Requirements
• NotifyLink currently supports attachments on devices with Palm OS 5 and above.
• The mailbox server must be set to send attachments to your device (see Setting Your Notification Format).
• You can open an attachment with a file viewer application or save it on a memory card. If you do not have either of these on your device, you will not be able to retrieve attachments.
Messages that contain attachments display a paperclip icon on the message list.
1. Open the message that contains the attachment.
2. From the Message menu, choose Attachments. A list of attachments associated with this message displays. Attachments that show 0 bytes saved, have not been downloaded yet.

|
3. Select the attachment you wish to download and then click “Yes” to begin the download.
NOTE: If your device has no applications with which to view attachments and does not have a memory card you will not be able to retrieve attachments.
NOTE: You can leave the attachment screen while the download completes, but you must return to it to view your attachment.

|
4. Specify whether you want to open the attachment or save it. The list of choices that displays depends on what applications are installed on the device and whether it has a memory card.
a. If you choose to open it, the file is passed to the file viewer application and opened.
b. If you choose to save it, a dialog displays where you can select the card and path to which you will save.

NOTE: Do NOT remove the memory card while the file is being transferred. Removing the card while it is being written to may damage it permanently.

Any other file type that has a supported viewer application on the device should function correctly. One exception is .pdf files. Adobe currently has a Palm viewer application, but the files must be converted to their Palm .pdf format. If you try to open a .pdf file with the Adobe viewer from NotifyLink, the behavior may be unexpected.
Any type of file can be saved to a memory card.
