how can i get only the messages (no attachments) with outlook 2003

I am on a very low bandwidth connection, and i just hate outlook downloading
the whole message (including attachments), which takes a long time. Is there
any way to disable ALL attachments from being downloaded?

You can click ToolsOptionsMail SetupSend/Receive, select your
Send/Receive group and click Edit. Then you can select your account and
check one of the "download" options at the lower right, like "Download
headers only" or "Download only headers for items larger than", selecting a
reasonable message size. To the best of my knowledge, you can't download a
message body but not the attachments. POP protocols don't even have that
concept.
