I assume it will only download the header, which is why I suggested it.
If Evo junk filtering is off for the Gmail account, it won't
automatically run SpamAssassin for these messages and therefore won't
download the bodies until you decide to read or preview them. Of course
if you hit the Junk button I would expect Evo to download the message
and run SA for learning purposes

POP is different because the entire message will always be downloaded,
independantly of any filtering.
