Argh. I was using Gcc to get my local copy, but this makes sending mail painful when I'm connected because I use IMAP, and combined with the long turnaround time for SMTP to send the message, the time to stick the message in my remote IMAP mailbox pushes it over the usability limit. I was very relieved to discover today that I could add myself to the Cc: line and eliminate that overhead. It would involve pushing fewer bytes over the network (potentially many fewer if the message has attachments) if I could just pre-mark incoming messages from myself in a given group as read. > Not sure what to do about the `download' part, though -- messages are > normally not downloaded from the server unless you actually select > them for reading. So maybe you're talking about the headers? Or you > use the agent? Or something else entirely is going on? I use the agent, but yes, pre-marking the message as read so that it doesn't appear in the summary buffer by default should be enough to prevent it from being downloaded.
