Why? Pine/Alpine should show the text portion of any multipart messages perfectly reasonably, and not even attempt to download non-text MIME content from your IMAP server. Crispin designed the application and the protocol that way intentionally; his approach was always that you should be able to run your MUA locally with just a 2400bps link to your IMAP server, and get perfectly reasonable performance. -- Chris
