And also ... apart from the fact body searches aren't used that much, even for filtering, it stops as soon as it has enough to make a match, so it might not necessarily download all parts.  I think attachments are skipped anyway (its really a 'body text' match), but I think spam filters need the whole kit and kaboodle.
