Because configuring TB in the way you said means that this will be
permanent. What I wish is much simpler and can be applied when for
some reason I decide that I want to skip the message. For example,
this and only this particular time the connection is very slow or I'm
just in a hurry and that 1,5 meg message blocks all other. Yeah, I
could cancel downloading and trigger mail dispatcher, but after
pressing cancel and answering "no", all the already downloaded
messages would be marked for retrieval again. I'd have to wait till
all their headers are downloaded *again* and then mess with all of
them. Takes much time. And "skip" would be such simple solution.
I'm not sure about technical possibilities of realizing it. Is it
possible in POP3 to cancel the retrieval of a message, without
cancelling whole session (which would lead to all the downloaded and
"deleted" messages be downloaded again)? Opss, this should actually go
to TBTECH...
