I'm using Outlook plugin with Exchange server (both 2003).
It seems that Spambayes requires whole message to be
downloaded, including attachments. This causes problems
when connected through a dial-up connection.

Without Spambayes installed, Outlook downloads only
headers / message body. Attachments are downloaded
only when accessed.

With Spambayes installed, it makes Outlook download all
attachments too. Since attachments are generally encoded
(MIME/base64?) or are not in text form (.pdf,...), I don't
know if scanning attachments helps.

Please provide an option not to scan / download
attachments.

Otherwise, the software is great!

Thanks,
Altu Faltu
