Beside the fact Christophe already denied your assumption let me correct
you: The Bat! _does not_ download the headers of an e-mail if you've set
"Leave messages on server". It decides wether to fetch or to ignore a
mail in that setup by inspecting the output of "UIDL" command, which
only gives a list of server generated UIDs, one per message, and ideally
the server generates the same UID for the same message when asked
another time. If he doesn't you get every message until you delete it
from server manually.
But in no case The Bat! uses the headers to decide if a message was
already downloaded, headers are only fetched when "selective download"
is aktive of message dispatcher is invoked.
