How about implement it by replacing large attachments with
message/external parts. Then we can invent a private method for imap,
and add a function into mm-extern-function-alist to retrieve imap
parts. I am not familiar with IMAP protocol, so it is just a wide
thought.

One problem might be that I don't think it is possible to find out how
large a specific MIME part is. But that shouldn't too problematic,
looking at RFC822.SIZE and replacing all MIME parts with
content-disposition=attachment is probably OK. Another problem is
finding someone to implement it. :-)
