Subject: Bug#23899: selective mail download feature request

This is a suggestion for a possible useful feature.  I am a recent convert to Linux and use Pegasus Mail as my Windows email client.  This program has a feature allowing the selective downloading of email from a Pop3 mailbox.  Selecting this feature downloads the mail headers together with file size etc.   Mail can then  be marked for download, deletion, both or neither.  I found this very useful in dealing with Spam.  It is also useful to allow downloading of important email immediately whilst deferring the download of large files to a more convenient time.  I have not yet found a Linux mail client with a similar feature, though I will continue to search.  In the meantime, I suggest that this may be a useful feature to add to KMail.  I'd be interested if others share my opinion.
