Do any of the current wireless providers that deliver access to email also support attachments? I have a user who wants to get email and Word, PPT, XLS attachments for viewing on a Blackberry or other wireless device. Which vendor, if any, is bestable to help me?

Generally speaking, no. But there are exceptions.

Most attachments require a specific application in order to launch. You may find some wireless devices with 'viewers' that may let you see some of the less robust attachments.

You may also runinto problems of memory. Many wireless devices simply do not have enouhg memory to support attachments.

I suspect that at more and more wireess devices begin to adopt the Palm OS, we will begin to see improved access to attachments, since Palm OSis a true OS.

humbly submitted,
