I've never enabled this setting, so I don't know how SM handles large
messages in this configuration. Does it just silently ignore them, or
does it notify the user?
It downloads the header and the initial lines of the message and
provides a button if you want to download the entire message. Very
simple, very effective!
I would do some testing before trusting it, though. I have seen ISPs
with non-standard mailserver configurations that overrode user
preferences in unexpected ways -- like *always* deleting a message after
it's downloaded, no matter which settings the mail client uses. They
only work correctly for the least-denominator crowd.
If the ISP equates "getting the header" with "downloading the message,"
you may end up losing the attachments.
I wasn't advocating using it. I was theorizing that this could be one
reason the whole message wasn't downloaded but the short form kept
getting downloaded. If the OP hasn't enabled this option, then this
doesn't explain his problem.
