How to configure Mutt to ask before downloading attachments / Ticket #663

Hello,
 
I usually use Mutt in Debian Lenny with my Gmail account directly via
IMAP.
 
It works nice but when people send me some big attachments (images or
media content) those files are also auto-downloaded in pager and it can
take some time to get the whole message open.
 
Is there any way I can instruct Mutt to automatically downloads the text
message (body) but ask me what to do with the attached files (get them,
view them, store them, leave them...)?

(after some investigations...)

A user of Debian mailing list pointed me to this (9 years) "wishlist" bug:

***
IMAP should only download (large) attachments when they are viewed
http://dev.mutt.org/trac/ticket/663
***

Is it really still opened, that is, not implemented? :-)

P.S. These messages were also posted to "mutt-users" mailing list but 
received no reply.

Greetings,
