IMAP && fetch size of message

[Andrew Marks]

You can limit to mail less than a certain size, or within a size range.
http://www.mutt.org/doc/manual/#patterns

~z [MIN]-[MAX]

You can make a macro which applies this limit.

You may also get creative with the header format to highlight mail that
is over a certain size.

I'm not sure about interrupting the download.

Good luck,
Andrew
