Same here; sometimes it is too late, I've already opened the mail and now it tries to download the 10+ megabytes, just to read the two lines of text, along with the big attachment... The more annoying thing is there is no way to stop/break the downloading. > In practice, do you have any tips to signal there is any attachment to > emails ? > > Some "ergonomic" options: > - adding tag in Index > - adding tag in headers (to show in mutt) > - others ? > > Many thanks for sharing your ideas. I've setup the index_format to indicate the size of the mail in a column where my eyes usually hover while tending to my mails. So if it strikes me (and sometimes I still skip over it...) that it's unusually large, then I'll open it with view-attachment first. That is the closest thing I could get to warn myself about large emails and attachments.
