One possible way is to have several `categories'. I use One with a `true' predicate that downloads everthing One with a `high' predicate and score that downloads only messages beginning with `Re:' And a default category with a `false' predicate. That downloads only headers. Things that I really don't want to fool with at all I put above the agent..handle level. You could jockey groups around before a download with `J a' (add) or `J r' (rem) on the group, if you want to do something differnent occasionally. I found I don't really mess with it once I have it setup.
