It would be good to know. What do people think? A quick scan through the
RFC2822 - Internet Message Format reveals the following, but I am not sure if
that is enough to convince anyone.
Semantically, the angle bracket characters are not part of the
msg-id; the msg-id is what is contained between the two angle bracket
characters.
Thanks for the patch. It didn't work for what I needed (e.g. fetch the parent
article) until I applied analogous changes to the other occurrence of search by
message-id in nnimap.el: nnimap-request-article-part.
Thanks,
