What does it do about attachements, though? The OP wants to download the body, but not any attachments until he chooses to.

Yes, that works as expected, I can see the attahched files by pressing "v". But what I need is to prevent those big files from being downloaded unless I really want to proceed.

I download mail form Gmail accounts locally via POP3 + fetchmail, but I thought IMAP only downloaded the header by default. Anyway, did you try 'v' for view-attachments?
