Thunderbird will always download complete messages whenever click on |
| 11 |
one. Given MIME mails and IMAP servers Pine will will only download the |
| 12 |
interesting parts of the mail. This means only the text OR the HTML |
| 13 |
part; or when you receive mailinglists in MIME digests only the mail you |
| 14 |
are interesting in. |

Of course, you need an IMAP server which correctly supports IMAP |
| 17 |
(fastmail.fm is good, gmx.net is bad). |
