That's pretty annoying! I haven't seen Geary keep on downloading things 
when it shouldn't be, however. As a first step, have a look at the 
download settings for the account (App menu > Accounts > select the 
account > Download mail). What is it set to?

Also, were these high-res photos attached as part of the the email, or 
were they links? If the former, then the total email size will be a bit 
larger (maybe around 60MB) because of way binary files like photos are 
encoded, but that still shouldn't blow through too much data. If the 
latter, maybe they are being re-downloaded every time you view the 
message?

A couple of other things to try include see how much storage space 
Geary is using, by running the following in a terminal:

> du -hs ~/.local/share/geary ~/.var/app/org.gnome.Geary/data/geary

And running Geary from a terminal with `-d` as a command line argument, 
and see what it is doing.

Let us know how that does.
