Eudora allows you to decide on what size of files to download or not. 

Under receiving mail one can check Skip Files Over ___Kb (fill in the 

blank)


I use it to stop image and program attachments, most of which are 

over 40K. What appears in my mail box is the first part of a message 

giving me the choice to download the rest or not. Smaller attachments 

appear on my desktop. I usuallu open them in a small word processor 

(Tex Edit+) to see what kind of file they are.


AOL of course displays the attachment, name and allows you to 

download it or delete it.
