// When downloading headers, each email object contains
// (obviously) the headers, but the body will be missing.
// Also, attachments will not be included.  However, it is
// possible to get information about the attachments
// as well as the complete size of the email.

    // Display the From and Subject
    ? loEmail.From

    ? str(loEmail.Size)

    // When a full email is downloaded, we would use the
    // email.NumAttachments property in conjunction with the
    // email.GetMailAttach* methods.
    // However, when an email object contains only the header,
    // we need to access the attachment info differently:
    lnNumAttach = loImap.GetMailNumAttach(loEmail)
    for j = 0 to lnNumAttach - 1
        ? loImap.GetMailAttachFilename(loEmail,j)
