I noticed that BODYSTRUCTURE on the uw imapd returns the actual multipart
boundary value. For exchange 2000 the value differs from what is actually returned
in BODY[].


Now I dutifully searched the archives and found a message from 1996 saying the intent
was not to have the body_fld_param in body_ext_mpart return the boundary value.
The spec in 7.4.2.BODYSTRUCTURE does say the parameters are those
specified in rfc2045.


As I said the uw imapd seems to behave as I would expect, but the behavior for exchange
2000 is puzzling. Not only do the values not match, but the boundary in the
BODYSTRUCTURE response is fixed from request to request while the value in the
BODY[] literal differs for each request. I can understand how exchange is building
these responses, but why?


If both behaviors are correct then why have the value at all in the response? I assume
my understanding is short here somewhere.


Thanks,
Mike
