Pine
Thunderbird will always download complete messages whenever click on
one. Given MIME mails and IMAP servers Pine will will only download the
interesting parts of the mail. This means only the text OR the HTML
part; or when you receive mailinglists in MIME digests only the mail you
are interesting in.
Of course, you need an IMAP server which correctly supports IMAP
(fastmail.fm is good, gmx.net is bad).
