More on iPhone’s “rich HTML” email client
Hawk Wings reader and iLounge writer Jesse David Hollington got to play with an iPhone briefly at MWSF and to ask Apple a few direct questions about the email client on the iPhone.
He emails to say that it was a brief encounter (five minutes with the people from Apple and a 45 second play with the device), but still:
I had noticed your entry on Hawk Wings about 30 minutes before we went in, so we were able to pose the question to Apple specifically as to whether rich-text e-mail was supported, and the answer I posted was basically their answer. When asked whether the Mail application on the iPhone was a “pared-down” version of Apple Mail, they basically responded in somewhat non-committal PR-speak.
Apple confirmed that composing in true HTML is not possible. It looks more and more like “Mail.app Mobile” to me.
