    Alan,

    You may opt for the PDA subscription of the discussion forum "My Subscriptions" page on AIA KnowledgeNet. The pro is that it is formatted for a hand-held device and you can post to the discussion forum by selecting "reply" as with other email you receive. The con, for those who prefer a low volume of email, is the PDA option is a real-time subscription instead of a daily digest.

    AIA members and staff have requested a variety of other subscription types: weekly digest, monthly digest, and PDA formatted daily digest. Unfortunately, those options not available from our vendor at this time. Please feel free to contact me with any additional questions or concerns. Your comments are greatly appreciated.

    Is there any good reason that the forum emails contain file formats that can't be viewed on a BlackBerry?

    Kathleen,

    Thanks for the reply. It seems odd that, knowing people have a;ll kinds of electronic messaging devices, that AIA would send out emails that can't be read in all of them. I am seeing more and more web pages show up blank. Not very user friendly.

    Maybe you need to consider simplifying the system.
