When RIM announced the upcoming changes in SP5 for Blackberry Enterprise Server 4.1 in late January, it had one highly anticipated feature at the top of the list of features to "Improve End User Productivity" - HTML and Rich Text email.Improve End User ProductivityThat was originally posted in their forums (and is still there, linked above). However, if you go to the What's New page on their website, it no longer matches the forum post. The section about HTML and Rich Text is now missing.
- Support for HTML and Rich Text email allows BlackBerry smartphone users to receive email messages with their original formatting preserved.
- Users can read email more easily, view embedded images, hyperlinks, tables, bullets, numbering and indentation.
No official word on this from RIM, but hey, with Apple's iPhone announcements yesterday it's probably a good week to stay off the radar. It's already bad enough that SP5 was pushed out from February 29 to March 11.
Strange, though, because in RIM's February 21 webcast, HTML email was showcased. Perhaps they removed the feature from the What's New list until they could see if a delay to March 11 was sufficient to get the feature complete.
At any rate, there is another Service Pack coming in June, so it could be folded into that release if necessary.
