If you set your e-mail client to only automatically download
messages below a certain size (50Kb, 100Kb, whatever you want), then you will
just see the headers for anything larger and if you choose to delete them this
will delete them from the server on the next send/receive without downloading
them. That’s how my e-mail client (Outlook) works, anyway.

Subject: [canberrabirds] Please, no overly large attachments
It's been a beautiful Day, but I want to have a grumble so
here goes:
I note that David McDonald has made this plea previously but I'd like to
reiterate: Please take care to ensure that photos you transmit to the group are
within the recommended size (whatever it is) as I have a dial-up connection and
am unable to change within the short term. As it is I need to call the service
provider about once a week to ask them to remove large transmissions that
have jammed up my email, and it's becoming a pain in the neck. So much so that
I'm considering leaving the chat line, a move which I would regret.
