Am I the only one who'd find this useful? The only one with dial-up
who gets buckets of mail? Is there *any* way to process mail in
batches, perhaps with filters?

If I have 1,600 messages and just want to process the first 200, I can
watch carefully and stop it on the 200th message, but it stops the
whole process. Then I have to wait for five or six minutes to load the
whole list of the remaining 1,400 messages. And when it does, the
messages I've ticked to not download and not delete are reset to
delete, so I have to go through the whole list again--another ten
minutes. Those are messages I want to check out on the server, either
because they're spam and I want to report them before I delete them or
because I'm not sure they are spam. Is there a way to tell TB not to
change manual settings in the dispatcher list?

Also, is there a way to set the dispatcher to show you if a particular
e-mail has an attachment, any attachment? And perhaps the attachment's
file extension? As I said before, file size is not reliable. If I
could set the dispatcher to download, say, a range of messages and if
I could tell if messages had attachments before downloading, I'd get
3.0. Otherwise, 2.0 does me just fine.

Cheers,
Deborah
