I doubt it'd be that difficult. Just add BODYSTRUCTURE to the IMAP
call when fetching the original message information. That'd also
quickly establish if there were attachments, and if there are pgp/mime
parts too... For example:
A01 UID FETCH 30066 (BODYSTRUCTURE BODY[HEADER.FIELDS (DATE FROM)])
* 160 FETCH (UID 30066 BODYSTRUCTURE ((("text" "plain" ("charset" "us-ascii")
NIL NIL "quoted-printable" 528 22 NIL NIL NIL)("text" "html" ("charset"
"us-ascii") NIL NIL "quoted-printable" 3836 122 NIL NIL NIL) "alternative"
("boundary" "----_=_NextPart_002_01C545BF.03350AD0") NIL NIL)("image" "jpeg"
("name" "pearls.JPG") NIL "pearls.JPG" "base64" 50500 NIL ("attachment"
("filename" "pearls.JPG")) NIL) "mixed" ("boundary"
"----_=_NextPart_001_01C545BF.03350AD0") NIL NIL) BODY[HEADER.FIELDS ("DATE"
"FROM")] {97}
Date: Wed, 20 Apr 2005 10:38:34 -0500
From: [name protected]
)
OK FETCH completed.
Shows that email consists of one plain text part, one html part, and
one attachment (an image named perls.jpg), and if I remember my
bodystructure stuff... I think the 50500 is the size of the file.
BODYSTRUCTURE gives me a headache after a while :) Of course, I could
be way off the mark, and they could already be doing this, I've not
looked at the output from an imap conversation in a while, and I saw
they introduced a few features that might mean they are already doing
this.

It's all in the BODYSTRUCTURE ;)

You could, if your server supports it, add more connections. Under
Account Properties, there is an IMAP Fine Tune where you can
increase the number of connections. There is even an option to
dedicate a connection to reading messages, but if they wrote the
whole connection stuff in a smart manor, it'd use whichever
connection is free, and always reserve one for reading.
