Motorola V600
E-mail attachments
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I can't find an answer to this one anywhere. When I send an e-mail to me phone and include an attachment, I get the e-mail but the attachment is not there. The icon indicates that I have a "new message with attachment" (envelope with paperclip), but when I read the e-mail there is no attachment. After reading the e-mail and returning to the message menu, the icon indicates that it is "read - nothing attached (envelope - no paperclip). Somehow the attachment seems to be getting "lost". I have tried to send many different attachment types, but get the same result. Am I misunderstanding things, am i doing something wrong, AT&T issue? Any thoughts?
