Email not configured in the Eclipse Simulator?

Email not configured in the Eclipse Simulator? When I run my App I get this message: There was a problem launching the email composer your device may not be configured to send email? Are there limitations with the Eclipse simulator when developing? Will the email be configured once it's uploaded to the Android Market and on a live smartphone?

You need to install plugins for some smartphone functions to work on the emulator. The emulator is just bare bones, ''out of the box''. You can probably find most links to plugins on stackoverflow.com. email will work ok on a real phone, as long as the owner has email installed of course.

Thanks! It's a long story... Yeah, pdf's will be the same. You can find many plugins for the emulator at stackoverflow.com, like pdf readers. I think, but I've never tried it, that you can use the android marketplace on the emulator to install apps, so plenty of pdf readers on there.
