Hi,

Some HTML emails don't seem to render on the pocket pc - the email looks
blank. They look fine in Outlook on the desktop. This doesn't just happen on
the pocket pc, but other PDA's and smartphones. These emails are being
generated by a utility.

It looks like there is something missing or not quite right with the email.

Example, if the HTML source is the following, it does not work:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"><html>
<head></head><body><STRONG>Testing STRONG tag</STRONG></body></html>

Neither does the version without the DOCTYPE tag.

So, what needs to be done here, to make the HTML render properly?

Thanks
 
Pocket PC doesn't support HTML email full stop. Your email must be sent in
plain text, or have a plain text equivalent to show correctly.

But it does support viewing some emails that are HTML only.

So I just want to know what limitations there are, or what is the proper
format for the HTML.
