I use Outlook with dial-up and I'm trying to generate a rule that notifies me
of large (>1MB) attachments before it begins downloading them. However, all
rules by default seem to apply "after message arrives," i.e. when it's too
late. Any suggestions?
 
OL rules apply after download.
Use web access for your ISP to view mail, or mailwasher eg
Whether your ISP has any rules/options may be an option.

Tools-Options-Mail Setup-Send/Receive, highlight the group Name, click Edit
and check the box at the bottom that says "Download only item descriptions
for items larger than" and set your limit.
