unless I request it, or know it is coming, I do NOT appreciate large attachments in email...to this end, I usually check my mail first with a program which allows me to read it on the server!Then, if it is spam, or says it has crap attached, I can delete it from the server and never get it on my computer!~

There are a number of these programs...I use Pop3 ScanMailbox works fast and allows multi-mailbox access. Free...

a bit fancier and with more options is AvirMail (with this you can even answer mail while it is still on your server!..it even uses filters) ..yep..free
