Summary: upper limit to scanned email size

Initial Comment:
hello,

SpamBayes is a client-side plugin and so, need to
download the email in order to scan it. this can be a
pain in case of remote connected seesion...

typically, SPAM are small  emails. it could be great to
be able to setup an upper limit to the size of email
SpamBayes try to scan.

have a nice day,
Pierre.

Which SpamBayes application are you using?  If it's the 
Outlook plug-in, then this doesn't make sense, because 
SpamBayes only finds out about the mail when it has arrived.  
If it's sb_server, this also doesn't make sense, because 
SpamBayes is acting as a proxy - it's only processing mail 
when the mail client is already downloading it - it doesn't 
result in any extra traffic between the server and your 
machine.

If, however, you're using sb_imapfilter, then this could be 
relevant.  If you are, and really want this feature, then put a 
note confirming that here, otherwise I'll close this.
