It appears as thought Outlook (at least Outlook 2002) is setup by default to download headers only. I am "Pretty Sure" the tech doing the testing hadn't modified the default settings. When the test machine was returned to me, I verified that only the headers should have been downloaded.
And yet, when I click on an email that contains a 1.2MB attachment, Outlook essentially freezes the system. An email without an attachment is fairly speedy. That makes no sense to me. If Outlook is truly setup to download the header only, it shouldn't matter if the message has an attachment or not. I guess I will test again and make sure everything is in order with the Outlook config.

This forum and its members are truly outstanding. Having received mixed responses on this matter, It seems there may not a Lead Pipe best way of dealing with a 56k circuit and email delivery, but I now have plenty of different options to evaluate. I started by checking out the config of Outlook 2002 on our test laptop. I checked on the "Download Header Only" option mentioned and Outlook 2002 doesn't appear to have such an option. I am going to check Outlook 2003 to see if it has that option. I will post back to the list as my testing progresses. Thanks again, Marty P.
