So, mutt insists on downloading the *ENTIRE* body for all the messages which are displayed in the mailbox index screen. Now here is the problem -- this is on IMAP, at my ISP, over a slow-ish connection, to a slow mail server, with several >1MB attachments. Incase you hadn't guessed it takes FOREVER to open the mailbox. (Were talking whole numbers of minutes.) It does this EVERY TIME I re-open the mailbox. Folks, this not a tenable situation. How do I fix it? - Guy
