Yeah, it seems to be a bug in the Mozilla implementation (the standard DOES support deferring downloading attachments). But, even with this bug, IMAP still solves my particular needs better than POP. For instance... - When reading email from my cellphone, it won't download the attachments (the mail client in my phone does not have this bug). Since it won't store messages locally, I don't have to worry about limited storage. - When using Portable Seamonkey "on the road," I don't have to re-download weeks of messages I have already read at home -- it will fetch just the headers, nicely tagged as "already read" even. And I can filter a lot from the headers alone. -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm. Unauthorized use will be prosecuted under the DMCA. -=-=- ...
