Yeah well you see, that's what I don't want. I don't want options added to
Binc IMAP that most admins won't enable (consider the huge CPU load, many
mail servers are slow machines with fast I/O), and which also breaks
standards for storing email.

The possibility is there, but I'd rather add a filter/hook than make it a
native option.
