No, that shouldn't be the default because people who create filters
will wonder why they aren't being applied.

The mere act of applying filters will not cause the message to be
downloaded unless the filter rules need the message body, so you need
to look to see what filters you have configured.  The filter rules can
be found in Edit -> Message filters.  Is there anything there?
