I think this is (unfortunately) a case where we can't avoid supporting
both aggressive downloading/caching, as well as the behavior John
describes. People use mail differently. A common use case in Europe is
to download mails, hop on a train to a meeting, and work on the mails
while on the train, without Internet connection. It would be
incredibly annoying if that was when you discovered that the
application didn't download message content, or attachments.

Additionally, I like to have a complete local backup of my Gmail
account, in case Google decides to randomly lock me out.

There's also the problem that you can't filter on message content
unless you load it.
