There is an alternative (e.g. optional for Outlook 2000 and automatically set for the Win....CE 3.0 or earlier mail client): use "auto preview" to generate a short ASCII representation of any incoming eMail that you have not removed from your mail-server. This mode lets you read the beginning of the mail and doesn't access contained server images.
