AquaMail and Android Wear

[Kostya Vasilyev]

One more (last) time:

Yes, it's possible to change the app to show more message text on Wear watches.

But even if I do that, messages still won't show like they show on phones / tablets: formatting, wrapping, images, etc.

PS - yes, I own an LG Watch (original model).

Here's an interesting article (in German language ):

..., sodass der Text der E-Mail größtenteils gelesen werden kann. Die Inhalte stammen aus dem HTML-Teil der E-Mail. Dabei werden alle Formatierungen, Bilder und Links entfernt und nur der darin enthaltene Text angezeigt.

Enthält die Nachricht im Hauptteil Inhalte, die von der Uhr nicht angezeigt werden können, z.B. komplexe Tabellenstrukturen oder unbekannte Zeichen, zeigt sie lediglich den Absendernamen und den Betreff an.

These are exactly the "technical" limitations which Kostya has pointed out in his previous post(s). No more and no less...

And considering that the only German I know is "ich bin gail, komm zu mir, meine liebe"...

( someone taught me this years ago as a joke, and it stuck )

I don't own any smart watch and haven't even had one in my hands yet. So, I do not qualify to make any judgment regarding how reasonable it is to read entire messages on a watch.
My comment is only about lack of images and formatting.
I am still reading and writing a large portion of emails in alpine, which can display only text.
Before getting my Android phone (about 3 years ago),, 90+% of my personal emails, and 60-85% of my business email were read in alpine.
Now, those numbers are about half of what they used to be.

But again, there,  the screen is 80x24.

StR -- think you should get a smart watch and run alpine there

I am afraid the keyboard for it will be a bit too large and heavy. 

[Kostya Vasilyev]

But then the keyboard could be used as a battery case to power the watch.

That's a great idea! You should patent it!

... and what are we going to do with that large microscope required to resolve 80x24 on the watch?

Re: what are we going to do with that large microscope

If you can work this one out, we could apply for a *joint* patent (and then - KickStarter, here we come!)
