Can I get the email app to only download email headers -- and get bodies on demand? This is for an MS Exchange based email service

Question

Can I get the email app to only download email headers -- and get bodies on demand? This is for an MS Exchange based email service. I have a Nexus One. The email app works fine, but the volume of email I get for work is huge and although I need to see all the subject lines, I rarely need to read the full email when I'm not at work. How can I get the email app to just download headers? Alternatively, is there another email app in the Market I could use for this?

I have Android version 2.2.1

Which mail app?, I assume it's GMail client because you are using a Nexus, but there are lots of mail clients for android. — Doliveras, Apr 21 '11 at 08:21

If I look at my settings for an Exchange server I have a 'Incoming size' under 'General settings' where I can specify 'Headers only'.

I am running Froyo 2.2.1 on Samsung Galaxy S.

You can use Touchdown ($20):

For the Email Download Size you can set No Body.
