Newshound is the culprit, in that it has a size limit and fetches only 
the headers for messages over a certain size by default.

Look at !NewsHound.Config.GlobalRule, and you'll see something like 
this -

$ max limits:
# Get header for anything bigger than 15k
*  *  *  >15k * * * * xover

Mine is set to 15k as you can see, but IIRC the default is 10k. You 
can increase this value, or just delete the rule altogether, although 
if you are on dial-up large messages can take a while to download.

It also highlights the problem of over-quoting, which gets on my 
nerves...

I don't know about Pluto, but MessengerPRO in conjunction with 
Newshound allows you to download the body of these header-only, either 
by pressing Ctrl+B or using the message's menu. Pluto will almost 
certainly have a similar function.
