Sounds like it may be useful to probe and remove huge email
to prevent it from coming over the modem.

But I'd prefer to have some kind of rules that say "Don't
download messages over 1M".  I know that worked on my
Outlook Express to the same ISP that I'm using with gnus.
So, it's a POP3 thing.  Can gnus do selective downloading
like this?
