Two things... email attachments size etiquette should be on your email admin. No one should be allowed to email things within a corporation that's 100MB large. Put the isht on the server where it belongs. Besides, we wouldn't have a problem with 100MB emails if RIM would put right right amout of app memory in the phone (as in over 1GB). Hate to keep ranting by using the iPhone excuse, but the iPhone doesn't seem to have an issue with large emails.
The other... there is no option to get the rest of the email. It's trucated... that's it, no more. It's a big FU from RIM on my BIS attached device.I also agree, they should put more memory onto the devices from the get go... at the minimum 1gb of available device memory.
As far as the Trunctuated e-mails, while it is annoying, it doesn't bother me as much as some, since I usually can assume it's a forward from a friend that's just too damn big to push over to my BB. Do you think that it's as much of a device issue or is it more of a network issue? It seems that the message is trunctuated from RIM, not by your individual device. Do you think it may have something to do with RIM's servers having a cutoff point as to the size of the message to be sent?
I think that this trunctiating of the e-mails is not an issue of e-mail length (text in body of message) and more of size of attachment. an e-mail with a 12mb attachment is a little much to be pushed to your BB IMO, but I understand the frustration.
I don't load video attachments (usually the largest ones) on my BB when I recieve them, just too much of a hassle to do so in my mind, so I just wait till i'm on my laptop and can watch them there. However, are you having issues with the messages truncating due to attachments like Word/Excel? Like business documents?10-16-09 10:18 AM - You're right, I don't get it. All I ever see is the download more and I've gotten emails that are really huge. Never had a problem before. What's the threshold?Yep, you still don't get it. I'm not talking about auto-download-more. I'm talking about EMAIL TRUNCATED XXXX BYTES being at the bottom of your email and you can't do isht about it.
Guess what, you don't know what the OP meant because you haven't seen this... that's why you don't get it.
Trust me, people get it... check the poster above you.10-16-09 10:34 AM - If that's the case, why not strip the attachment instead of truncating the body of the email and leaving the attachment in place.
Right on the money! You totally grasp the issue my friend.
Also, it's not like I don't have a laptop or PC, it's that if I'm out and about and I get an email with a bunch of info like a quote or line installs for clients, it would be nice to be able to take that entire email and forward it on to others without the fact that it has important info cut off on it. In my field, there is no 9-5 work day. I work pretty much 24x7, so when something comes in, I might be in bed, out on the town, whatever... I have to be able to quickly turn around and do my job. The BB platform is hindering this ability.... that being said (to satisfy Mr. Tim's blinder effect) I'm not leaving Verizon (because of their service footprint) and last time I checked, they don't offer the iPhone. There are other options available from them, but none of them work for me and for my needs. WinMo devices from them are currently kind of a joke. I'll be evaluating the Android market once that opens up on VZW this winter, but regardless of all of that, RIM needs to step up already.10-16-09 12:05 PM - This idea makes alot of sense, not sure if they would be able to implement it, but it brings up an interesting point! I just don't know if the servers would be able to seperate the attachment from the e-mail, but it'd be nice if it could!If that's the case, why not strip the attachment instead of truncating the body of the email and leaving the attachment in place.
So, whenever you get an e-mail sent to your BB and it says that it's trunctiated due to size, when you check it on your physical inbox, is it always an e-mail with an attachment, or is it just an e-mail with alot of text associated with it?10-16-09 01:14 PM - No, it can be a plain HTML email (just with lots of info in it), or even a TEXT based email with a bunch of stuff on it (T1 activations, etc.) and it'll truncate them. They don't have to have attachements on them.
Wrong... If this was the case, the email would turn to a red X on the BB and the header would indiate "Couldn't Send More Message".
No, this is not with a blackberry.net account. (Does anyone even use those anymore?) The issues is also not related to what type of email account it is. The defining difference is BIS vs BES (if BES has been set to allow larger emails).10-16-09 03:28 PM - Freakin AWESOME!!!!
Hey, in relation to this, I think I'm going to get in touch with Kevin and see if he can implement this on the WAP site here. For example, you won't be able to read anything but the OP and maybe 3 or 4 responces.... see how the CB community like that.
You'll need to hit the full HTML site to read all the posts in a thread.Last edited by JRSCCivic98; 10-16-09 at 05:12 PM.
