RE: [Evolution] options on download

[<ray sacherer com>]

Maybee it could be done in a way like, let's say, messages that may be
duplicated because of a matching headers are only partial downloaded (the
first n-lines) and moved to a special folder, where the user can delete or
check or do whatever he want ...

and IMHO it is VERY important, that partial download stuff!! I knew lot`s
of remote users which only have a 9600 baud connection via mobile
phone... THEY will not use this software, if this option is not
available!!

best regards
