Complete list of supported email attachment file types?

[tonyalexander]

I've looked around but can't find a complete list of supported email attachment types. The big ones are obvious (PDF, DOC, XLS, JPG, etc.), but I've found WAV files do not work (though they do natively in Tiger's Mail.app). Anyone have any experience with any other formats working/not working? Is there a complete list out there I'm missing?

Thanks!

Tony

Page 48 of the User Guide on the Apple Support site says:

If an attached file isn’t supported by iPhone, you can see the name of the file but you
can’t open it. iPhone supports the following email attachment file formats:
 .c, .cpp, .diff, .doc, .docx, .h, .hpp, .htm, .html, .m, .mm, .patch, .pdf, .txt, .xls, .xlsx

Strikes me as odd that C++ source files are supported but Java files are not?!

I think .wav is one of those windows formats so not surprising they wouldn't want you to open it.

But that got me thinking so I tried sending an mp3 and it just shows an attachment icon. I'm not able to touch it or take any other action on it.

Here's the info from apple's site:

What types of email attachments can I view on iPhone?
iPhone displays most picture attachments (JPEG, GIF, and TIFF) in-line with the text in email messages. iPhone can also view PDF, Microsoft Word, and Microsoft Excel email attachments.

Thanks, don't know how I missed that in the guide... must have been *too* obvious!

What's odd and depressing is the lack of support for iWork files.

Apple just doesn't get how vulnerable MS is on this front...sigh...
