how to download all headers and body in one step

Hi, Thunderbird downloads only message headers first. The body is downloaded only when I click the header. What can I do to make thunderbird download both header and the body of a message at the same time so that I do not have to wait for each mesage to download individually. It is annoying and takes a lot of time to read message. Accessing hotmail using thunderbird pathetically is pathetically slow. Therefore, i want to be able to download all message headers as body before I start reading my messages.

nothing.

the entire text for the email is downloaded, but TB will download the images and other non-text content as needed. Then it takes time to render it.

I also find TB slow on my machine, and hope the Mozilla people will keep it simpler for us legacy hardware users.
