Thanks. I know I can do this by telnetting into my ISP's mail server, 
and using the standard protocols to get a list of messages and their 
sizes, or using "top" to get the first n lines of a message, which contains 
the header info I need. I can also delete messages using the same method. 
All that is standard stuff. 

I was hoping there was a nice GUI (like kmail) which would make that job 
easier. Console mode gets awkward when you have a hundred or more 
messages to manage.
