hey neel how far is it possible to create an html email in blackberry. newer blackberrys support retrieving html mail. il in blackberry. newer blackberrys support retrieving html mail.
Newer version of blackberry have the capability of retrieving HTML mails, since blackberry 6.0. But RIM still doesn’t provide API support for application developers to do the same. Hope to get the same in the next RIM SDK release.
I got the piece of code which I have been searching. it is really a nice blog. thanks for all of u guys for putting efforts for helping for guys like us. beautifully presented.
