Re: [Pan-users] automatically downloading newly watched mail

[Mark Derricutt]

Yup, and that was one of the first rules I added.  But when looking at a 
group, I already have the headers, and if I find a thread I'm interested 
in, I hit "watch", gravity and others will instantly start to download the 
bodies of those watched posts.  Without having to reload headers...

What I'm after is basically tacking onto Watch, the "flag thread for 
download, download flagged posts".
