Sorry, uhm, that wasn't what I meant.  The header provides the important
information for the software, but not a lot of information that's useful to
the user.  MS would like it if the user never saw/knew anything about the
header, and this hides it WAY far away.  (don't do that, it's a pain in the
butt).  

ok, so none of this can work for POP, doesn't matter there.  I'll have to
think about that one a bit more before I come back and say anything else
stupid, give me a while yet.  As for the concept, downloading the "message
body" via IMAP, and waiting on binary attachments seems like it might be a
nice way to do it.   Maybe not, I don't know.  Later,
