Huh ?
I have this set at (the default?) 30K, and get the occasional
large attachment - which results in a mail being left in my in-
basket with a title like "size>30K - left on server" (or words
to that effect).
I then go to RemoteAccess to retrieve it, if I decide. I don't
recall not being allowed to retrieve it like this.
Did I misunderstand you ?

Like I said, I think PMMAIL98 does exactly this. (I don't
know if PMMAIL/2 does the same - I had to move off PMMAIL/2 :-( )
This seems to work quite nicely, except it might be nice to be
able to select a message for remote retrieval - but directly from
the inbasket - without having to go to RemoteAccess.
