[nabs-l] question about iphone email

Sophie,
You can generally view most attachments right from mail on the iPhone.
At the end of the message text, VoiceOver will read you the name of
the attached file. Double tapping it will open it if it is in a
supported file format.
Pdf's, powerpoints, word documents, text files, pictures, videos, and
spreadsheets can all be viewed from mail. There may also be additional
formats supported, but that is all I can think of offthe top of my
head.
While you can view the attachments, you can't edit them unless you
have the app associated with the file.
So for example, if you want to open and edit a doc file, you need to
have an application like pages installed on your phone. Once you open
the attachment from mail, there is a button labled action on the top
right hand corner. double tap that, and you will see a list of
options, including one to open it with the correct application.
Hope that helps, and let me know if you have any other questions.

Best,
Nallym
