MicroReader 1.6b This is an experimenal / unfinished variant of MicroReader 1.4z for Siemens CX65/S65 that can access the email inbox of the phone's built in email client. This function can be useful when you receive email messages in a text encoding supported by MicroReader, but not by the native email client. Most probably this feature cannot be realized on the most current phones.
