Download headers only in Outlook Express?

[rm3]

Is there a way to have Outlook Express download only
message headers? When I am on the road using a dial-up
connection and someone sends me a very large file it can
tie uop the computer for an hour or more while I wait for
the entire message to download. I would like to be able
to just download the shorter text-only messages and wait
to download the large files until I am connected to my
broadband connection.

Thanks!
