This is very simliar to the way I receive text messages on the 7100i. I sometimes get "spam" text messages (about parties/clubs in myarea) so I set the 7100 with "Multimedia reception:always" "automatic retrieval: never". This way all I receive is the message "header" or similar, then I can choose to download the message or not.

I just hope Sprintel doesnt count message "headers" as actual text messages, I only have 100 and that spam is annoying.

So if they can do this with text messaging, im sure you can do this with email, enable an option in the phone to auto retrieve or not.
