That is correct. There is nothing in the POP3 protocol to retreive the size
of individual attachments, only the size of the entire message overall.

Outlook supports both POP3 and IMAP4. IMAP4 can retreive the size of
individual pieces of a message. But IMAP4 is a very different protocol from
POP3.
