"""The submission profile of Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP)
provides a standard way for an email client to submit a complete
message for delivery. This specification extends the submission
profile by adding a new BURL command that can be used to fetch
submission data from an Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP)
server. This permits a mail client to inject content from an IMAP
server into the SMTP infrastructure without downloading it to the
client and uploading it back to the server."""
I, personally, cannot imagine what the User Interface for such a
feature would be in a 'normal' MUA.
It would look just like the current Evolution or Thunderbird interface.
The client would write the outgoing message into the Sent folder on the
IMAP server. Then the SMTP command uses that message reference instead
of writing the message contents out again.
Or it could be used for message forwarding. Instead of downloading the
entire email plus attachments then uploading again, it could be
forwarded by the client by reference to the original IMAP location.
