I guess I am going to have to move my problem around. On site http://forums.palm.com/palm/board/message?board.id=webossoftware&thread.id=884&view=by_date_ascendin... POST 198, last Pic, THIS is my problem. Here are 2 examples:

One is a FWD and One is a reply. I have not applied the patch directly from here as I don't know how to do a patch unless it is a copy and paste using my rooted pre and "putty". My Pre is up to date on the latest version. My exchange is "unknown" but more than likely 2003. I HAVE applied the patch from Webos-intenals http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Applying_Patches (that by the way is no longer there). it was applied after the most up to date Pre webOS.
I cannot get replies from Pre-central so I stoped using them........as well as they're related sites which are pretty much just copies. I am getting nowhere on the site here about email formatting that states "resolved". Obvioulsy it isn't.
Can ANYone help ??

Cannot view HTML emails on Curve 8530, but HTML option is selected in email settings.

Hi,
I cannot view HTML emails on my Blackberry Curve 8530, but when I go to email options, HTML is selected. Why isn't it working?

Hi
Maybe the device needs resetting
The Blackberry is designed to be reset by removing the battery whilst the device is powered-on. Leave the battery out for a minute or 2.
See if that resolves the problem.

Viewing HTML email on Pearl

I have just upgraded the software on a Pearl and Curve. The Curve has an option allowing the viewing of HTML email to be enabled under email settings. The option does not seem to be available for the Pearl 8110. Is the Pearl unable to view HTML even with v4.5 installed?
Thanks

is the Pearl using the same phone provider as the Curve ?
are they corporate devices ?
if not, then you are using BIS. Depending on the carrier, you may or may not be allowed to view HTML email.

How do I send Plain Text email and view HTML email as Plain text

On the Z10, how can I send a plaintext email message?And how can I view an email message as plain text?

I agree with everyone else here. For Blackberry NOT to allow text email just seems ludicrous. It is the kind of thing Apple would do to their hypnotized fans. Surely it isn't up to Blackberry to dictate how people send and receive email. There job is to enable people to work in the way that they want to work, which for many people means TEXT only emails. Like others I have run into problems using systems that expect text only emails (e.g. Toodledo) and just figured I would switch the Z10 to text mode. Shocked when I found out I couldn't. I really like my Z10, but can't help but feel in some ways Blackberry have made massive backwards strides, e.g. Blackberry Protect, Blackberry Connect (is that the thing that connects it with the playbook - I can't remember as I stopped using it when I realized all the features had vanished), etc. Come on Blackberry, we want killer features in the Z10 and not features killed :-)

I just had to get a new Palm Pre & did not email my pics to my new phone.

Is there a way to retrieve those pics off of old phone? W/out having to go back to the store?

Thanks for the feedback. Adding to what was suggested, if you still have the device, perhaps you could a USB cable that works with your Palm Pre Plus and sync it to the computer for moving over the pictures. The phone does not need to be on an active line in order to connect it with a proper USB Cable connection with your computer to move(transfer) your pictures over.
I am providing a link that you use reference for your device. The link is:

Mail Crashes on viewing HTML email

Hi,
I've been having trouble with Mail crashing when I click on an email that is formated as HTML or RTF. Not all of them will crash Mail just certain emails. I have notices that emails that come Microsoft Outlook on windows tend to crash Mail readily.
This pretty much started with the last software update. Here is what I done to trouble shoot this to no avail:
1) repair disk and permissions.
2) re-install combo updater while booted from external firewire drive.
3) create new user in OS. login as new user and test Mail with email that crashes Mail. This time Mail does not crash it renders the email correctly.
4) Login as user account with issue. go to Library and remove all folders and files from Mail, Mail Downlaods, Caches/Mail, and the com.apple.mail.plist from Preferences. restart Mail, added email account, clicked on email, It still crashed.
5) Not sure if related but Safari is also crashing on certain web pages. maybe these are related.
Any suggestion would be great
Sincerely,
Mike

Hi Mike.
It looks like this could be a font issue. Since the problem isn't system-wide, if it's really a font issue, it can only be that either an essential font has been disabled, or a font cache has become corrupt. If the former, the following article would be relevant:
Font Management in Mac OS X Tiger and Panther
If the latter, take a look at the following article for general troubleshooting and cache cleaning procedures:
Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption
Be sure to read this in particular:
Side effects of System cache cleaning
In addition to the utilities mentioned there, you may also consider OnyX or Cache Out X, which are free, although for this particular problem, Font Finagler is probably the most appropriate.

How to send HTML email in Mail?

Hello All,
I would like to write an email in HTML, just copy and paste the HTML code into mail, and have it sent as HTML. How do I have mail do this? Thanks!

You can't do that; or rather, you can, but it won't work. You can view you r HTML file in Safari, then use the 'Mail Contents of This Page' option and Safari will insert the rendered HTML. But if your recipient doesn't have their mail program setup to view HTML email, they won't see whatever it is you're trying to accomplish.

Palm Pre 2 MSL code????

I just bought a Palm Pre 2 and we did a factory reset on the phone. When it asks to create a new user name and password it tells me that my phone isnt connected to the network. Even though it is and has full bars of coverage. What is the problem and why can't I create a new profile? I tried to do a reset and its asking for an msl code. I have no idea what that is. Please help!!

It's working !!! !!!!!!
After 3 day, looking for new code on web, problem with outlook and so on...
I finally see this advice:

Do this update and it's going to automatically work!

E72 HTML email - Cyrillic encoding?

Reading Cyrillic emails in plain text is no issue in any encoding (windows 1251, KOI-8, ...)
But if email is HTML only when I click "view HTML" Cyrillic is displayed incorrectly - like "ÄÐÑü"
I tried changing deafult page encoding in Internet settings - it helps with web pages but it does not help with HTML emails...
Is it font issue or encoding settings or???
Many thanks!

This is a backward step from the E71. In fact, I am unimpressed with the email solution on the E72 compared with the E71, with is inferior to the lastest version on my E71 (I've moved back to the E71 from my E72).
Whether I want to see HTML emails (I do) or not should be for me to decide in the settings as I can in Nokia Messaging on the E71. The E72 is a step backward in that you still have to select 'view HTML email' and even then the HTML support is poor. This was like one of the previous verisons of Nokia Messaging on the E71 before Nokia updated it.
Don't be fooled into thinking that Nokia Messaging being integrated into the firmware on the E72 is a good thing; it's not! The solution is inferior to the current standalone version of Nokia Messaging available on the E71.
MfE may be a step forward, but when it won't work with Google Mail for Domains (like my E71 did without any problems) it is pointless. I even have problems with Roadsync in that 'push' email causes some loop on the contacts synchronisation which then results in push email being switched off.
All in all, the E72 is not the great step forward unless you use Exchange 2007 and use the newer version of MfE. For any other 'consumer' email (which we all like to have work and personal email on out smartphones) it is POOR!
Come on, Nokia, sort it out! Don't you have any beta testers? Surely some ex-E71 users would have been able to point out these massive inadequacies!

Image map in html email- color of text

I'm using some image maps in an html email newsletter and using the alt tag on some of the images to give a brief description as to what the newsletter content covers.
The issue I have is that the alt text is in the color blue. Can I control that and make it black? I've tried a few ideas but the text stubbornly remains blue........grrr!
Thanks

I think this is going to be one of those cases where I disagree with a large amount of your arguments. I find almost no valid reason for using a "slice and dice" method of email marketing and if the client is going to insist on that (or at least not accept the little extra time/cost in creating a template), it should be made very aware to them that the impact of the email will be severly diminished.
The hardest/most time consuming part of the template building (or HTML email building) is getting your first one that works consistently in all/most email clients. Once you have that one, its very easy and fast to change the layout, edit content etc. Add to that MailChimps resources on pre-designed HTML email templates and your good to go. http://mailchimp.com/resources/html-email-templates/
As for your examples above, they are not all done the same way.
http://www.screwfix.info/nl/jsp/m.jsp?c=4d2f0f00cbac503dfb is a relatively good example as the main focus of the email is in text - the top and the offer. The images are all products.
http://tre.emv3.com/HM?a=ENX7CloMai0H8SA9MOBj7h3nGHxKXLxSfPcStGb5lw8W0 bBhOG5mpqVsje_HheCmyF2x is a bad one as it's images all the way to the disclaimer.
You can see the differences by turning images off in your browser using the web deveoper toolbar.
I agree only IF you have a client that adheres to the template. I don't know many or any clients that adhere to anything personally. Its like when producing a magazine. Good ones adhere to a template design but they are generally produced by large companies with a good budget, a marketing department and a copywriter to make sure the content fit. My client are not in that league, they tend to write the copy themsleves and don't edit anything or give too much care or attention to following any layout. My job is to make what they supply fit. A template in that senario is going to be completley useless.
The first example above is probably 95% images....and you think that's a realatively good html email example?

Palm Pre won't load apps (messaging, memos, contacts, email)

I have been having issues with my phone and can find no root cause. As it exists right now, the phone is unusable - i lose/miss messages, am unable to read email and tear through battery. The surprising thing is that these issues are apparently not hardware related as I have now seen them on 2 devices. Please let me know what I can try / how to resolve this. Below is a detailed description of my problem and what i have tried. (tl;dr - i have completely reflashed one device, and just recieved a 'new' one from sprint today that still has these issues).
I first noticed problems with my phone approx 2 weeks ago when trying to open the 'messaging' app to read/send text messages. the app icon would flash once or twice, but the card did not appear. Sometimes it came back with a reboot. After noticing this, I also found that the 'Memos' app would start, but not display any stickies (even the 'new memo' one). Contacts and Email load, but just display a blank canvas (white screen - the add contact/new email button appears though). The calendar also loaded the week view, but would not respond to requests to change to day or month view, and showed no events. Along with contacts not loading, I had issues getting Universal search to display contacts stored on my phone. During times when these apps didn't work, the back of the phone got hot, and battery life dropped horribly (from lasting more than 12 hours on a full charge to 4 hours). These issues led me to believe that maybe there was a hardware problem. it seemed like any app that used data storec on the device was having issues - maybe the internal flash went bad or had solder issues. I took it into my local sprint store, and they restored / hard reset it - I'm assuming this is the same as the webOSdoctor flashing - it took about an hour. things worked fine for part of the day after getting it back, but eventually came back. I took the phone back to sprint and they requested a new one under warranty.
I just got the new one today, and after logging into my palm profile, re-downloading a few apps, and sycing my contacts with facebook, palm profile, and google, the issue returned. it's hard to say for sure, but it seems like maybe it was related to the facebook sync? that was the last thing I started before walking away. when I came back, I could not open messaging, and the other issues mentioned above all appeared. I tried putting the phone in airplane mode thinking that my wifi or 3g connection was wonky (Sprint is currently having a lot of problems in my area - West Michigan), but this had no effect either. When I took the phone out of airplane mode, things seemed to work for about 10 minutes, but then the issues resumed.
Has anyone seen or heard of things like this? my best theory is facebook issues, but I am not about to start deleting friends one by one to find the problem. I only have about 260 facebook 'friends', but that syncing is one of the most important features of this phone to me. At this point, I am at a loss for things to try. perhpas there are developer tools I could use to see running processes / debug messages / errors? I rooted my first palm pre ( replaced 9 months ago after cracking the screen ), but am not interested in doing that to this device for fear that sprint / palm would claim it voided the warranty. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello!
First of all rooting your device does not void warranty for anything wrong done there can be resolved through the use of webOS doctor, with exception to overclocking.
Could you try to partial erase the device and instead of signing back into your same palm profile, make a new one. Add back your online accounts and see how the phone fairs. At this time any homebrew install will complicate matters so if some installed please run the webOS doctor instead of erasing the device. Keep me posted.

Upgrade to 4.5 device software on Telus Pearl 8130: HTML Email viewer doesn't work

I just upgraded the software on my Telus Mobility (Canada) BlackBerry Pearl 8130 (from 4.3).
One of the main reasons I wanted to upgrade was to take advantage of the HTML email viewer (yeah! finally!).
My installation went fine, and the View Messages in HTML option is enabled (was by default, have verified it again).
On my first test email that I sent to myself from my Yahoo account to my default ISP email account, here's what happened. The Yahoo email uses a very simple "stationery" as background, consisting of two small graphic files, one in the upper left and one in the lower right. In between those two graphics is the text you wish to write. So I put the words "test test" in the text portion and sent it to myself.
When the email was received on the Pearl, indeed I saw the two graphics. However, the text was not displayed.
That was the first attempt. The second attempt produced no graphics at all.
I also tried sending myself an email using some formatting, like bold fonts, different text colors, underline and one jpg file. None of the formatting came through, and the jpg came through as an attachment (instead of in the the body of the email where it was placed). When I tried to open the jpg, by clicking on "1 Attachment", I got an error stating that it is an unrecognized file type and cannot be opened.
So it appears that the upgrade took 1 step forward and 3 backwards.
Anyone experience this, and if so, is there a fix, either now or in the works? Does RIM Support read these forums?
Telus Tech Support said that something is being done but they weren't too specific.
I have another upgrade-related question regarding Documents to Go, but I'll post that in a separate thread.

hello,
about your Bluetooth problem, I suggest you one a new discussion on the decicated board called "BlackBerry Accessories". ou will find there experts about Bluetooth.
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/rim/board?board.id=accessories
about the third point : it usually takes a long time for the device to emerge after a battery pull. It's quite common, you can't do anything about it.
about the second point. In my opinion there at least one picture that is corrupted (or one index file).
in the folder containing that image, do you have many images ? Let's call that folder A.
I suggest you to move them one by one into another folder B, then scroll through the folder A.
it will certainly reset a few times, until at one point it wont' freeze, meaning the folder A does not contain the corrupted image anymore.
you then know that the last image moved from A to B is the culprit.
