Deco-mail

Deco-mail is a service that allows the user to exchange simple HTML mail between Deco-mail compatible handsets, or between Deco-mail compatible handsets and the Internet.1 With some handset models, Deco-mail is even easier to send if you use Deco-mail templates when you compose Deco-mail, and you can insert Deco-mail pictograms in mail text.

1 There are two ways to send Deco-mail to compatible handsets: the first one is from a Deco-mail compatible handset and the second one is via the Internet, from a PC. The information given on this page mainly relates to the latter.

• In this section, the term "HTML mail" means MIME multipart messages that are made of the HTML message (HTML part), text message (text part), and inline images.
• If HTML mail is sent to an i-mode compatible handset that is compatible with Deco-mail, the handset will automatically receive the HTML part of the message (and the inline images). If the same HTML mail is sent to an i-mode handset model that is not compatible with Deco-mail, the handset will receive the text part (and the inline images as attachment file with FOMA).
• GIF and JPEG files can be sent as inline images.

Deco-mail has the following versions.

	Description	Maximum number of inline images	Maximum file size
Version 1.0	Base version of Deco-mail.	10	10,000 bytes
Version 2.0	In addition to Version 1.0 expressions, users can also display text and images on the same line.	10	10,000 bytes
Version 3.0	In addition to Version 2.0 expressions, increased capacity is available as shown to the right. Also, 20 x 20 dot images can be used as Deco-mail Pictograms.	20	100 KB1
Version 4.0	In addition to Version 3.0 expressions, inline Flash® can be used.	20 (up to 2 inline Flash® content items)	100 KB1

• 1 The maximum 100 KB file size is split between 10,000 bytes for text and HTML parts of the mail and 90 KB for all inline images.
• The layout of the Deco-mail may not display correctly if the versions on the sender side and recipient side differ. For details, see When the layout of the Deco-mail does not display correctly.

This is an explanation of the data processing performed during the sending and receiving of HTML mail, the Deco-mail reception formats, and other points to note.

Most FOMA 900i series and later models are Deco-mail compatible. For details, see List of Compatible Content & Functions for i-mode Compatible Handset Models (in Japanese only).
