Using EmailViewer in S60 Smartphone

ProfiMail is a "heavyweight" email client that works only on Series 60 phones. What if you need to display HTML messages and attachments on a smaller Series 40 phone? The EmailViewer program (http://www.reqwireless.com/emailviewer.html) is the answer. It renders HTML messages, as well as common document formats for email attachments, such as PDF files, zip files, and MS Word files. EmailViewer is a Java application, and it works on both Series 40 and Series 60 phones.

Under the hood, EmailViewer utilizes a proxy server to do all the heavy lifting. The proxy server fetches the message, renders it into a stream of bytes in a compact and proprietary format, and then delivers the bytes to the client. The mobile client simply displays the data in the stream according to a predefined convention. There is no need to parse, decode, render, and then lay out the HTML content on your mobile phone.

You have to install a proxy server licensed from Reqwireless, or subscribe to Reqwireless's proxy service, for the EmailViewer client to work.

EmailViewer and WebViewe are developed by the same company, and they utilize the same approach for proxy-based content rendering.
