Yeah, someone did this to me too (http://www.kryogenix.org/days/502 for
more). I could deal with it because I have my own mailserver on the
net, on angel. If you download your mail from a server run by someone
else, there's not a lot you can do, really. If you can use IMAP to get
your mail, then you could delete the dud mails with an IMAP client,
which at least means that you won't have to download the text of them
to your home machine.
