Skip messages over [ x ] K in size

Skip messages over [ x ] K in size is a very useful feature in Eudora. I have it set at 50 KB and messages over that size are filtered to a dedicated mailbox. About 20 lines are downloaded for such a message which is sufficient to decide to either download the entire message or to delete it from the server. I haven't seen this option in Pandora and would like to have it there too.

and you will, it's on to-do list, alongside delete after x min/h/days.

Why not just download your email like normally? I've never set my email client to not download anything above xx mb.

If something is downloaded, and I don't want it..... I just delete it.

Why download something that you don't want? I can see if I want the whole message by looking at the sender and the subject. In my mailbox where over-size messages arrive I select the messages I don't want and click on the delete from server icon I have on my toolbar and then on delete. For the remaining ones I select Fetch.

That saves me a lot of time and bandwidth. You may have a fast connection speed and unlimited gigabytes but where I live I have to rely on satellite which often is not so fast when there is to much snow or rain in the air. The nearest point with fiber-optics is 25 km down the road. YMMV.

ahhh Satalite dish that makes sense...

I remember those days of being on Sat dish a couple years ago.. it was a pain due to data limitations.

But, its funny now they've got " almost unlimited" plans now on Hughsnet and Exede.

I know Hughsnet offers a 50 gig a month package but be ready to shell out $$$$

There's only one cable provider in this town.. It sucks because their very greedy ( always raising prices) and its either them, or dialup or sat dish.

My provider has a 50 GB package which was gobbled up by my GF in less than 2 days. After that it's down to 20 KB/sec for the rest of the month. So I had to get a second dish for myself at CA$70
Cable is also 25 km down the road and to make everyone here happy there is no cell phone reception because we have hills on all sides. I can get reception when I climb the hill behind my house to a point that is about 60 metres higher. However, it's nice to live in the middle of nowhere, far from the city
