1. A method of operating a mobile communication device, the method comprising:
- maintaining a first wireless data path to an application server via a first wireless packet data service network, the first wireless data path being a secure end-to-end continuous communication link;
receiving an electronic message and an attachment notification via the first wireless data path; and
in an automatic mode, establishing a second wireless data path for transmission of the attachment to the mobile communication device when the mobile communication device is within a coverage area for a given radio access technology with which the device is configured to establish the second wireless data path;
wherein the second wireless data path is a secondary PDP context of higher quality of service than the first wireless data path.

Abstract
A method and system for transmitting electronic messages. The system includes a messaging application executing on a computer. The messaging application is operable to receive from a message sender an electronic message having an attachment associated therewith, operable to communicate the electronic message to the mobile communication device via a first wireless data path and operable to communicate the attachment associated with the electronic message to the mobile communication device via a second wireless data path having a higher bandwidth than the first wireless data path.
