Pine/Alpine should show the text portion of any multipart messages perfectly reasonably,
and not even attempt to download non-text MIME content from your IMAP server. Crispin
designed the application and the protocol that way intentionally; his approach was always
that you should be able to run your MUA locally with just a 2400bps link to your IMAP
server, and get perfectly reasonable performance.

I read this list on PINE, on a shell account at my ISP.
In this group, I doubt that I am the only one.
Can we restrict to TEXT emails?
