Check !Newshound.Config..GlobalRule for something like this -

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

This tells Newshound just to fetch headers of messages over 15K - ISTR 
the default is 10K, and of course can be edited. If you want to 
download the rest of the post you should use the "Fetch Body" option - 
I assume Pluto has this (Messenger does).
