Nonsense. The reference argument to LIST works, and works very well. The cost of re-opening that can of worms will be mandatory CWD and PWD commands, along with abolishing the option of having hierarchy semantics that are incompatible with IMAP URLs. That'll hurt Cyrus much more than it'll hurt UW imapd. RENAME, on the other hand, is broken on almost all servers. The Cyrus server (including the one running on imap.andrew.cmu.edu) advertises that it does not implement RENAME in a compliant fashion NO_ATOMIC_RENAME capability. -- Mark -- http://staff.washington.edu/mrc Science does not emerge from voting, party politics, or public debate.
