Comment 5 for bug 727321

There are two cases here basically where attachments and large messages would be undesirable:

1. slow GPRS, slow dial-up
2. expensive UMTS or WCDMA, per-minute or per-kilobyte fixed line

So ideally we can ask for example connman for the data plan. It has the information but I don't know if/ how applications can find that out.

Alternatively a ‘Don't fetch attachments automatically’ option could be provided.

The current behaviour should remain the default in any case. I expect that in the future we can also fetch headers separately, but that may not happen soon.
