Limiting the size of incoming emails

Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: intel
Email Client: pop

Does anyone know if/how the size of incoming emails can be limited?

This is particularly useful when traveling & your restricted to downloading on slow broadband or dial-up connections.

This was a good feature in Outlook where I limited all incoming emails to 200kB. Thus I could still see all my email "subject" headers but it was then my choice whether to download them in full or hold-off for a faster connection or delete them altogether.

Much obliged,
Julian

In the Menu bar under Tools select Accounts.

Open your account and click on the Options tab. You can select to partially
download messages. Select the size you want to download.
