|  in order to only download the mail heders, one MUST use a protocol that
|  supports that (e.g. 'imap'), or implement its onw proprietary protocol on
|  top of 'rsh' (assuming the user has a shell account and has access to the
|  mail box file from that shell account). the POP protocol only allows you
|  to see the _sizes_ of the letters (in bytes).
|  
|  now, as far as i know, pine supports imap, but NOT in offline mode (At
|  least not the pine i am using, i think v4.10). netscape does support an
|  offline mode of this type. i'd assume that outlook express has the same
|  kind of support, though i never tried that.
