Unfortunately, no, there isn't. Mutt's imap support is somewhat primitive, and mutt's underlying design doesn't currently make room for messages that are only partially available (to mutt, messages are either completely there, or entirely missing). It's certainly conceivable that mutt *could* develop this ability in the future (file a bug report and pester the developer!), it doesn't have the ability at the moment. ~Kyle - -- Next in importance to freedom and justice is popular education, without which neither freedom nor justice can be permanently maintained. -- James A.

And, to my knowledge, EVERY IMAP server supports downloading specific MIME-encoded body parts. Read the RFC (3501), particularly where it talks about the FETCH command: BODY[]<> The text of a particular body section. The section specification is a set of zero or more part specifiers delimited by periods. A part specifier is either a part number or one of the following: HEADER, HEADER.FIELDS, HEADER.FIELDS.NOT, MIME, and TEXT. An empty section specification refers to the entire message, including the header. Every message has at least one part number. Non-[MIME-IMB] messages, and non-multipart [MIME-IMB] messages with no encapsulated message, only have a part 1. Multipart messages are assigned consecutive part numbers, as they occur in the message. If a particular part is of type message or multipart, its parts MUST be indicated by a period followed by the part number within that nested multipart part. It goes into some depth about how one might go about requesting first the MIME structure of a message, and then asking for just specific pieces (e.g. you can ask for only the TEXT/PLAIN body sections). You can even request substrings of each component of the messages. I think Michelle must have confused IMAP for POP3 or something. ~Kyle - -- Asking whether machines can think is like asking whether submarines can swim. -- Unknown -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Comment: Thank you for using encryption! iD8DBQFG00JXBkIOoMqOI14RAhfRAJ4p5WTEnayx8ME+dfsg0CU1hAYIbQCgk53U uttwpLOmVKoQzDVnD0TwWgY= =7UYd -END PGP SIGNATURE-

This seems to be an oversimplification. Actually, the message body consists of multiple parts, and IMAP provides mechanisms to selectively download some of the parts. (It also provides mechanisms to get a list of parts.) Kai

how not to auto-load attachments?
Hi, When using imap with mutt-1.5.16 is there a way to not automatically load attachements when viewing the message body? Ideally when on a low-bandwidth connection I'd like to have access to the message text and select which attachments to download. I tried running mutt with auto_view turned off but it didn't change its behaviour. Thanks,
