Yes there is. This is in the IMAP protocol, see

2.4.    Message Texts

   In addition to being able to fetch the full [RFC-822] text of a
   message, IMAP4rev1 permits the fetching of portions of the full
   message text.  Specifically, it is possible to fetch the [RFC-822]
   message header, [RFC-822] message body, a [MIME-IMB] body part, or
   a
   [MIME-IMB] header.

On the MUA side, mutt does not handle it, but others (at least alpine) do.
