Eudora (maybe Pro version only) gives good filtering - I can set it to
limit messages to any size, usually I leave it at 4kb. Later, when only the
first 4kb has been downloaded I can decide whether I want the lot or not.
It also has good filtering on any header content. I did decide to download
it all to see what it was - it then stitched all the individual parts back
together automatically and created the zip file.

Agent (which I only use for Usenet) has good filtering too in it's email
functionality I believe.
