Re: [Evolution] options on download

[Jeffrey Stedfast <fejj helixcode com>]

you'd have to download the entire message again (because you can't start
where you left off), this begins to get overly complicated because what if
the user has it set to delete messages off the pop server after they
download? then what?
you can't just go get the rest of the message...because it isn't there

argh!
