Is it possible to write plugin for support this extension?
I think a plugin would be possible, since it's possible to add dynamically more FETCH handlers using imap_fetch_handlers_register(). With v1.1 this is even easier because you can use lib-mail/message- decoder.h to have Dovecot decode the base64/qp parts. Hmm. Although it forces translating charset to UTF-8, which isn't wanted with BINARY. I guess that part could have been made optional in the API..
