I was wondering if perhaps a way to minimize the hassle with sitting on one's thumb while waiting for unwanted email to download could be eased by an email program which retreived only headers, allowed you to delete the unwanted ones, and then retrieve the wanted ones, deleting the rest. Is this feasible?
Yes it is but will not help much. As seen with the subject lines of the ascii art posted to the list it is quite simple to give a message a subject that would not reveal that it was spam until the entire message was downloaded and opened. - -- - ----------------------------------------------------------- William H.
