For win98 and OE5
I have a >30K filter in place to block some unsolicited , varying subject
and from designation , multi-meg files plus other large junk. Deleting at
the server.
But occassionally a genuine emailer has a load of logo junk etc added to the
bottom of his email which means its rejected.
Is there a way of recognising at the server >30K email, send a message to
him that his email is too large and then delete from the server, ie without
having to download any large emails. Or strip all but subject + headers of

>30K emails before downloading to me?

I don't think there is any way to do what you want in OE.

OE either downloads the whole message or nothing.

And if you want OE to send an automatic reply it has to download the
message.

If there were some selected people that you wanted to receive message
from that are greater than 30 KB, that could be done. To do that the
first rule would be where the FROM contains the allowed people, Stop
Processing more rules. Then the > 30 KB Delete from server rule
follows.

You've confirmed my suspicions
