1209412 2011-06-15 07:55:00 Hi guys,
My sister (Win VISTA) is on dial up and has the problem of her contacts sending stuff via Windows Mail that takes forever to download. Is there anyway at all of stopping the stuff coming in, apart from her telling them NOT to send it to her?

Disabling reading mail in html in the Tools/Options/Read tab doesn't seem to help at all.

I use Windows Mail in VISTA but am on BB and can find no way in there of preventing mail from downloading.

Is this just something that dial up users have to suck up and get used to?

Mailwasher works too.

Choose a suitable size and see what happens.
