Did we get jipped with WM6?

How come we don't have some of the features mentioned in this article?

Great New WM6 Features

These specifically:

Quote:

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) e-mail allows for imbedded images, specific fonts, bullets, and many of the other visual aids we rely on for processing data. Until now, these kinds of e-mails did not display properly on a WM device. Even worse, if a user would respond from a smartphone, he would effectively break the HTML component of the e-mail, thereby limiting other PC-based recipients after him from viewing the HTML portion.

Maybe I don't know how to turn this feature on for my Exchange email from my company but whenever I receive an HTML email it breaks all the links and doesn't download the pictures. And when I send an email it reverts to TEXT only.

Quote:

In a conventional scenario, most smartphone/PDA users do not store their entire e-mail database locally due to device memory constraints. And, since users regularly find themselves in situations where e-mails still residing on the server are needed, MS developed a server based search. This nifty gizmo is found in Messaging> Tools> Search Server. Options range from searching the past week/month/3 months/any date, and searching Inbox/Sent Items/All Folders. Searching is quite fast, and checking a box spanning 6 months took only a few seconds.

Don't even see this on my Mogul I would love this feature though!

Quote:

As a traveler, there is nothing worse than leaving on a vacation and remembering that you forgot to set your OOF. Now, you can set your OOF status either from the Calendar or Messaging application, and compose an OOF message, which, once set, will immediately propagate back up to the server.

Another thing that I would love as I forgot about this and had left it on after I arrived at work this Monday.

Maybe I just suck with this device as I'm used to the palm way, but I would really like all of this functionality and am hoping that I just don't know how to do this but it is possible with my phone. Any help would be really appreciated.

All this stuff works, me thinks you need to have a convo with your Exchange administrator...

Can you explain the process you do in order to get this to work? Like where do you go to search the server? When I go to my messaging app there is no Tools section? How do you enable HTML emails?

Those other options are only available with Exchange Server 2007 as well.

Yea but how do I try to do it on my phone? I don't find the option on my phone. I would like to search the server but when I got to messaging I don't see a Tools option? Is this done in Activesync? Do I need to have the default messaging tool and not the palm one?

you can't try it if your exchange host is not updated to 2007. it needs to be 2007 before any of those features would be avaiable to your phone
