Workaround on displaying/headers

I use my web browser (Safari, Mac OSX 10.2.6) to go into webmail on my
ISP and look in my mailbox.  I then "select all" messages.  Then I
unselect the ones I want to keep and click on delete.  No spam ever gets
downloaded, and I can view the messages from within the server mailbox
and see the headers.  The message is still on the server, not on my
machine, so no attachments get downloaded.  If your ISP doesn't have its
own webmail (mine uses Squirrelmail), Pandamail works well.
