[imp] Very large text message and failure to render view.

Setup:
i686 FreeBSD 4.7-p4
Horde 2.1
IMP 3.1
MySQL 3.23.55

I'm running imp and I am having a problem with a large (4MB) text message.
Note: this isn't an attachment, it's the actual body of the message.

The message is listed properly (to/from/subject/size) in the inbox view, but
when I click on the link to view the message,  the page isn't rendered.  Under
IE I receive a "Page Cannot be displayed" error, while under Mozilla I get 'The
Document contains no data'.  IMP works fine with smaller messages.

I've run a few tests and I've found that messages larger than about 512KB seem
to fail in the manner described.  I've even used lynx in order to "browse"
locally to remove any potential network issues.  Lynx (locally) reports within 5
seconds "Unexpected network read error, connection aborted" when the message is
1MB.  However, 512KB works fine.  

Is there an option to enable direct download of the message from the list view
instead of trying to render the message in the "normal" manner.

Or is their another solution to my problem?  


Thanks,
