Limiting the size of incoming emails

Does anyone know if/how the size of incoming emails can be limited?

This is particularly useful when traveling & your restricted to downloading on slow broadband or dial-up connections.

This was a good feature in Outlook where I limited all incoming emails to 200kB. Thus I could still see all my email "subject" headers but it was then my choice whether to download them in full or hold-off for a faster connection or delete them altogether.

Much obliged,
Julian
