How do you enable the BB to download entire messages without going to the "More" function? I have to ride the subway to work and it's annoying when I read an email and its only half downloaded.

Thanks and my apologies if this question has been asked already.

You can't. There is, however, an 'Auto More' setting in Mail/general options, but you need service for that. With it set it will do a 'more' request when you hit the end of the pushed message.

The reason is to keep network transfers/potential costs lower, but yeah, you need service to see the long messages.

Thanks! Too bad you can't set it like you can with a Windows Mobile device. That function sounds arcane since many BB users are on 2.5G or better these days.

BB is all about network efficiency. It works in two ways; 1 - the customer who is not on a unlimited data plan chews less $ 2 - The network operator can run X more BBs for each competing device and make as much if not more revenue from each device.
