When emailing an attachment file from the iDetail iOS app, the app will usually automatically use the Apple Mail app, since it is the default iPad email app. However, some organizations may choose to use a different email app, for example Microsoft Outlook, as the standard email app for their iPad users.

If this is the case, the user can choose the third-party email app from the Options dropdown menu when viewing the attachment on the iPad screen.
