Sounds like a useful feature, unfortunately all of the pop clients that I am 
familiar with are pretty dumb.  I don't see why a pop client can't let you 
preview messages before downloading and then give you the option to download 
or delete on a case-by-case basis.  I'd be interested to hear if any Linux 
pop clients let you manage mail more interactively instead of the typical 
download all/delete all.

If you're ISP has a webmail service you could preview your messages from there 
before downloading them with kmail.
