trick to reading emails with attachments?

[franny63]

I know this is probably simple but is there a trick to reading emails with attachments? Many times I hit the attachment, the little timeclock will show then nothing. I have to go on my computer to see the emails. My settings say unlimited so what the trick?

they should open right up if they are a file type that android recognizes (.pdf for example). if it's like an ms office type of file, then you need an office app (i think there's one called quickoffice) that will view those types of files. it all depends on what the attachment is.

Make sure you tap the "paper clip" icon.  For some reason, I had trouble figuring that out at first.  Sorry this isn't more helpful.

Isn't that the attachment button? I touch that, and you see a "time clock" of sorts, but it doesn't go any further.

Also, when you get email, it only download a small bit of the email....You can change it to a larger amount OR click on icon to complete the download, THEN look at the attachment. I had the same issue when pix were attached.
