Overly long e-mail messages

Today, I received 6 messages that were nearly 30K each and
it clogs up my e-mail download. My download times out and
does not complete the task, so, when I go back and do it
again, I receive duplicate messages. I had 52 messages
waiting this morning and it stalled on the 34th message.
So, I had my webmaster move the offending lengthy messages,
6 each, to my web site and I FTPed them to my machine,
renamed them to be a text file and read them. four were
from the same Spammer and the other two were from e-mail
lists I subscribe to that sends lengthy messages.

I wish I knew of some way to get off the Spammer's lists,
but, I hate to miss my subscriber messages. Is there some
way to set Outlook Express so it does not time out on
lengthy messages? Or is there a modem setting that can be
tweaked?
