Yea, so here's the deal. It's the stupidest thing I've seen in a Phone usability, but then again... many people like this, so it may be just personal preference.

Here's how to use it the Palm way:

- Open Email
- click on the pdf attachment
//this will start the progress bar and "download" the pdf
- now click on the attachment AGAIN in the email to open it!
//PDF will open now!
//at this point pdf is still not "downloaded" and available in pdf viewer
- to get the opened PDF in your phone, Open "PDF View" menu and click on "Save As"
- save it with whatever name
//at this point, the pdf has downloaded and is available in PDF Viewer

Hope this helped.
