Hi Tony and list,

On Thursday, June 2, 2005 at 16:35:10 GMT +0100 (which was 17:35 where
I live) Tony Boom wrote (at least in parts) and made these valuable
points on the subject of "Reflections on IMAP & POP3 [Was Re: The most
un-obvious things]":

Eeeerrrhhh ... You forget the huge _silent_ majority, don't you?

In your case I belong to that group, notwithstanding that you have my
sympathy - I am _really_ sorry for you!

I can see your problem as I had similar difficulties getting mulberry
to work over here - I gave up on it. I never got filters to work (my
own fault - didn't read the help and even didn't ask for help :-) ).
Now I have only a couple of IMAP accounts again (for some casually
tests) - all my other accounts remain ( for the time being) POP.

Just now I don't have a simple solution for you - but has mulberry a
possibility to manual trigger a filter to copy (!) a message to a
local folder? I seem to recall that your reference-header problem was
gone when you replied from a local folder instead of an IMAP folder?
may be you could copy only single messages to a local folder and reply
from there?

I see two long range possibilities in either mulberry rewrites the
incorrect reference header when sending a message or TB! silently deal
with incorrect headers. (I don't think you have direct contact with
your ISP's IMAP server programming crew). You have one guess what I
prefer. It was once mentioned here and I learned it quite some time
ago: The output of your program _must_ be correct _all_the_times, but
you may never depend on correct input.

So both teams have work to do :-) <eg>.

For heaven's sake - don't you dare!!!

I'm not really sure that this fix is RIT's duty - may be a quick and
dirty fix can do dealing with just the last entry in the references
list?

It's the best up to now - and incorrect headers are (in fact) a
problem of the server, not of the client).

> 2. The Moderators do ban me from the list.

I would never hope the would do something like that!!!
