About attachments
You can view several types of file attachments on your BlackBerry® device,
including .zip, .htm, .html, .doc, .dot, .ppt, .pdf, .wpd, .txt, .vcf, and .xls files. You can also
view .bmp, .gif, .jpg, .png, .tif, and .wmf picture attachments.
You can play .wav file attachments on your device.
In a message list, a paper clip icon appears beside messages with attachments.
If you save a message which contains an attachment that you have viewed, the attachment remains in
the device memory until the message is deleted.
