I didn't say I liked It, but it would save further argument.

My phone is set to download the first 5k of each message (POP3). This is more 
for speed rather than size, actually. Default setting out of the box is 2k.

Kmail can also be set to size limits (I don't need to, but some might). Don't 
know about other mail systems.
