Is the server even allowed to give different responses to two FETCH commands for the same item? C: a FETCH 1 RFC822.SIZE S: * 1 FETCH (RFC822.SIZE 12345) S: a OK C: b IDLE S: + S: DONE S: b OK C: c FETCH 1 RFC822.SIZE S: * 1 FETCH (RFC822.SIZE 42) S: c OK (42 being a suitable RFC822.SIZE for a dummy message.) --Arnt
