(n)upas/fs imap4 client uses the body[]<n.m> syntax
to download blocks from the message. this technique
also works on gmail. however, gmail lies about message
sizes so there's a bit of extra work.

cool. (n)upas lacks this ability, but has the framework
for adding it. it would take a little work to figure out
how to handle defaulting to the imap server or
to another folder. the folder selection code is
already horrible.
