it saves connection costs by trimming off all the fat from messages, so
that the user only receives the sender's name, the subject and a chunk of
the body text.
The remainder is then compressed to save even more space. Imhotek
technical director Steve Allam says that when he tested it with an IMAP
mailbox holding 30 messages, a normal email client needed to download 30k
for the headers alone, whereas IXPLite required just 4k - and that
included the first 500 characters of each body text too.
