Viewing attachments

iPhone displays image attachments in many commonly used formats (JPEG, GIF, and TIFF) inline
with the text in email messages. iPhone can play many types of audio attachments, such as MP3,
AAC, WAV, and AIFF. You can download and view files (such as PDF, webpage, text, Pages, Keynote,
Numbers, and Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents) that are attached to messages
you receive.
View an attached file: Tap the attachment to open it in Quick Look. (You may need to wait while
the file downloads before viewing it.)

Open an attached file

Touch and hold the attachment, then choose an app to open it. If none of
your apps support the file and it isn’t one that Quick Look supports, you can
see the name of the file but you can’t open it.
