My ISP has temporarily throttled me back to 128Kbps, and viewing email with
attachments has become slower. It made me wonder if mutt could be configured
to only download the main email and leave the attachments behind, but that's
not how attachments work; they are just part of the body. Then I had
flashbacks to when I inherited a sorry webmail program 20 years ago and had
IMAP so memorized that I could read email with a telnet session, and how much I
hated trying to remember what the next sequence number should be.
So I am asking if someone could kindly refresh my memory on exactly what IMAP
servers do to email they store. Memory says they do not pre-process messages
to break out attachments; that it is not possible for mutt to only download the
basic text or html attachments, and leave all the jpg, gif, pdf, doc, and other
attachments alone until needed to save on the attachments page. Year of usage
have also convinced me that if mutt could save downloading unwanted
attachments, it would, so it probably can't; messages are all or nothing. Is
that correct?
