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? -- David Hedbor david@hedbor.org http://david.hedbor.org/ The Ultimate Animanga Archive -> http://the.animearchive.org/ Forbidden Subjects -> http://forbidden.animearchive.org:666/
