Hi all,

I use Oort gnus 0.05 with an IMAP secondary server.  I sometimes get
longish email attachments from people.  When I try and view these
messages for the first time, gnus displays "imap read: xxx kb" and
proceeds to download the whole file.  Thats fine when I am at work,
but from a modem it really slows things down.   

Now the nice thing is that it only happens the first time.  But I'd
like to prevent it from happening at all.   i.e. the Article buffer
shows me that there are attachments, but only downloads them if I act
upon them.  This seems to be the behaviour of other email clients.  Is
it possible in gnus?  Am I missing an easy variable?

Thanks,   Jody
