- OK, The reason I had in mind was canonicalization of their format for

- I'm a little concerned about RTT's in a mailer that regularly fetches the
- Resent-XXX:, References: and other fields (presumably many if not most
- good IMAP clients will do this). You're probably one to think about this
- more than I, but wouldn't it at least double the number of RTT's for a lot
- of the normal operations? Is doubling the RTT's a problem? I know there's
- probably not much else that can be done without breaking existing IMAP
- clients.
