Any other recommendations? Pine Thunderbird will always download complete messages whenever click on=20 one. Given MIME mails and IMAP servers Pine will will only download the=20 interesting parts of the mail. This means only the text OR the HTML=20 part; or when you receive mailinglists in MIME digests only the mail you=20 are interesting in. Of course, you need an IMAP server which correctly supports IMAP=20 (fastmail.fm is good, gmx.net is bad). Vitus --=20 Vitus Jensen, Hannover, Germany, Earth, Milky Way, Universe (current)
