No, that's fine. I liked the way Eudora Light handles large messages
when I still used it (I don't remmeber what version that was):
You set "delete messages on server".
You set "download messages up to a size of xxx KB".
When a larger message comes in, only the headers will be downloaded,
plus an icon indicating that the rest of the message is still on the
server. If you click on this icon, the full message will be downloaded
at the next mailcheck. If you do not click on this icon, the message
will be deleted from server after a while (two days or so?), and the
icon will disappear from the message.
I find this the most elegant solution I have seen so far.
