Description marco 2007-02-25 14:58:24 UTC 
Version:           svn (2007-02-25) (using KDE KDE 3.5.6)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
OS:                Linux

i'd like to have the feature to load attachments only on request, because delete many mails(with long attachments) on slow lines , will first load every attachment, and so mailody is unsuable for many minutes.

also it would help reading mail without loading every time the attachment in the mail

I just got an HTML email with 75 image attachments.  All of them were loaded (causing a delay) even though "Load attachments on demand" is checked.  This is an IMAP connection to a Cyrus server.

The HTML email i received is forwarding another email with the attachments.

The images are attached like this:

Content-type: image/jpeg; name=IMG_3570.jpg
Content-transfer-encoding: base64
Content-disposition: attachment; filename=IMG_3570.jpg
