re: Why is a message immutable? (new thread since I'm starting a new topic)
I was expecting an entirely different rationale for wanting to change message content. In particular, some systems allow a message recipient to change the message "subject". I'd be interested in some way to handle this via imap4 (other than deleting the old message and creating a new one with the changed subject). I agree that actually changing what the originator sent is not a good idea. How about supporting some mechanism for clients to fetch/modify/delete textual message attributes (vaguely similar to flags/keywords, but able to contain more than 1 bit of data)? For the particular application I'm thinking of to be useful across clients, a "system" attribute would have to be defined (perhaps \annotation, which would default to the sender's subject but could be changed).
