How to receive message w/o pics in OE 6?

You can't do what you have in mind with the limited tools in Outlook
Express' rules. What you can do, is use a 3rd party program to "preview"
your mail and decide which you would like to delete from the server before
opening Outlook Express.

Try Magic Mail Monitor. It's small, fast, and best of all, free. It supports
multiple POP accounts. You can also configure it to open messages as *.eml
instead of *.txt, so you can read messages in an OE window without launching
OE itself.

Recently a friend sent 8 pictures attached to an email. With my slow
dialup, the email hung up and did not complete so new messages from
others could not be received. The pictures came below the message so I
could scroll down and view the pics but I want them as an attachment.

When I logged off and logged back on, the email started over and hung
up each time.

What setting can I select in OE 6 that gives me just the email message
without attachments so I can decide whether to download the pictures
or not?
Thanks for any replies....
