POP3 - long mails

[David Hedbor <david@hedbor.org>]

Hello!

I recently started using Gnus for mail and news reading (a big step up
from Netscape!), and I have a small suggestion. As I tend to get mails
with large binary attachments (> 2MB) and only have a modem
connection, I want the option not to get these mails (which I don't
need on my side of the modem anyway). To accomplish this, I hacked a
small movemail-replacement, which asks me whether or not I want to
download a large message (I also have the option to download the first
X lines). Until a few minutes ago, I didn't know that pop3.el existed.

I think a couple of vars in pop3.el - one with max length and one with
the default action (nil - ignore, t or ask - ask the user whether to
download or not, or # - only download the first # lines). My elisp
knowledge is unfortunately limited to editing my .emacs and .gnus
files, so I couldn't do it myself.

What do you think? Is this something that might be useful for the
general public?
