Downloading the remainder of a long message
You download long messages in separate segments so that you can 
choose how much of the message you want to read (and pay for).
To download more of a long message:
1. At the bottom of the screen, tap More.
The Retrieve More dialog box appears.
2. Do one of the following:
For a message with fewer than 500 characters left, tap Get Rest.
For a message with more than 500 characters left, a different 
Retrieve More dialog box appears. Tap one of the following:
Get Next: Retrieves the next 500 characters of the message
Get Rest: Retrieves all the remaining text of the message
Tap here

one more screen to view

The maximum amount you can download in one transaction is 
6,000 characters. If you want to get the rest of a message that has 
more than 6,000 characters left to download, you can download 
only 6,000 characters at one time. The Retrieve More dialog box 
looks like this:
Note:You don’t have to download all the segments of a long 
message at one time. From the time you download the first 500 
characters, you have a maximum of 30 days to download the 
remainder of the message. Then it’s deleted from your mailbox 
on the Palm.Net network.
Displaying header information
Complete header information includes the distribution lists and the 
From:, Subj:, and Date: fields. By default, the iMessenger application 
displays abbreviated header information, which comprises only the 
From: and Subj: fields. 
To display complete header information:
1. Open a message.
2. Tap the complete header icon.
Abbreviated header icon 
						

							Chapter 5 Page 145
Tip:To redisplay the abbreviated header, tap the abbreviated 
header icon. 
The iMessenger application uses the header type you select for all 
incoming messages.
Distribution lists of incoming messages
Distribution lists are the addresses in the To:, CC:, and BCC: fields of 
an incoming message. A maximum of 300 of the first 500 characters of 
a message is used to download the distribution lists. (A maximum of 
100 characters is used to download the text in the Subj: field.)
If a distribution list must be truncated, an ellipsis (. . .) appears after 
the last name. There is no way to retrieve the truncated part of the list.
Your address ([email protected]) always appears as the first address in 
the distribution list you are part of. After your address is downloaded, 
as much of the remaining information in the distribution lists is 
downloaded, up to the maximum 300 characters, in the following 
order: the To:, CC:, and BCC: fields.
Attachments
The iMessenger application does not support attachments, with one 
exception: If an attachment is a simple ASCII text file, the iMessenger 
application appends the text of the file to the end of the message, so 
you can read it as part of the body of the message.
Otherwise, when you open a message that was sent to you with any 
other kind of attachment, a message notifies you that the attachment 
cannot be downloaded. To prevent attachments from taking up space 
in your Palm.Net mailbox, delete the message as soon as you can.

One way to retrieve attachments sent to you is to have all messages 
delivered to your Palm.Net mailbox also delivered to your e-mail 
address. See “Identifying a forwarding address” later in this chapter.

recipient(s) of the message, define a subject, and create the body of the

however, add as many names to the To: field as you like.

Looking up an address
To identify the recipient of a message, you need to enter that person’s

into the field or by using the Look Up command to access the 
information in your Address Book.

2. Enter the first few letters of the last name of the person whose 
address you want to find.

Book, your organizer completes the address for you. If not, the 
Lookup dialog box appears and lists all records that contain 
information in an E-mail field.

Message screen by tapping Lookup from the Options 
menu or by using the Graffiti Command stroke /L. 
5. Enter the first letter of the entry you want to find to scroll to the 
first entry that begins with that letter. If you write an additional 
letter, the list scrolls to the first entry that starts with those two 
letters. For example, writing a “c” scrolls to “Carter,” and writing 
“ch” scrolls to “Chu.”
