I am also interested in this.  I have a slow dial-up connection to an 
overloaded IMAP server, and I really don't like downloading huge 
HTML-based spam files just to delete them.  I would like to be able to:

  o select a message on my IMAP server without downloading anything to 
show in the viewer, and

  o delete selected messages on my IMAP server without downloading them 
to my local trashbox.

Presumably not everyone will want the same thing, so these access 
mechanisms probably need to be an optional preferences setting, or else 
a secondary click / accelerator key binding.

Thanks,
