Skip downloading messages larger than a certain threshold?

Skip downloading messages larger than a certain threshold?

[Norman Walsh]

Is it possible to tell the POP mail source to skip messages
larger than a certain threshold size? (Basically, if someone
sends me a huge attachment while I'm travelling, I want to just
leave it on the server until I have a faster net connection;
waiting 40 minutes on an airport pay phone to download some
fools MPG file is an experience one only wants once in a
lifetime.)

I used to get my mail indirectly, through a series of perl
scripts and telnet, but something really odd has happened to my
net setup and that doesn't work anymore. (Don't ask. I haven't a
clue what's wrong, but it doesn't work anymore and I can't for
the life of me figure out why not.)

Anyway, a little digging through pop3.el didn't reveal anything,
so I'm not optimistic, but I thought I'd ask.

                                        Cheers,
                                          norm

There is epop3mail.el by Franklin Lee which extends the facilities of
pop3.el.  I don't know if it contains that function, but it might.
