Sure seems like it would be a useful feature.  I'm mostly stuck
on very slow lines, many times it's a long-distance call to get
that much. I'd like to be able to defer getting attachments -
pretty much ALL attachments - until I know at least I've got a
toll-free connection, even if it's a slow one.  Maybe there's not
enough of us so "blessed" to be worth a change, though....
