has caused the attached bug report to be marked as done.

This means that you claim that the problem has been dealt with.
If this is not the case it is now your responsibility to reopen the
bug report if necessary, and/or fix the problem forthwith.

(NB: If you are a system administrator and have no idea what I'm
talking about this indicates a serious mail system misconfiguration
somewhere.  Please contact me immediately.)

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.
