  Exactly! Now, not so much, but I used to have some rather expensive
pre-paid mobile data in overseas countries, for example in Australia.
IIRC, I had set lhe fetch limit even lower, some 8KB or so.

  And even in 2024 (have not checked recently), pre-paid roaming charges
of 4 or even 9 Euro per *MB* were common. Spend a hundred Euro on *one*
e-mail message, just because my e-mail client doesn't have a limit? I
don't think so.

  Yes, that called flexibility, some people might need to look-up/grasp
that concept.
