Re: Issues with the BINARY extension

Steve nails this on the head. IMAP is a state machine. If yopu're trying 
to
build context around command/response-type exchanges, you just don't get 
IMAP.

IMAP is stateless at the protocol level. If you don't get that, you've 
missed the boat and fallen off the dock.
