Doesn't help much when I have to download 40,000 bodies first, to get
to that point! That information doesn't appear in the initial headers
so you can't filter on it to stop the bodies coming in.


If you are using OE, you don't have to download the bodies. I don't. I
download headers only - see if it's something I want to read - if it is, I
read it, if not, I delete it - without prior downloading.

Cheers.
