Subject: IMAP + MIME + pGnus...

Has any progress been made recently in allowing Gnus to delay retrieval of
MIME parts? I was just pondering how to do this and thought that it would
not be too hard to have nnimap spoof the delayed portions with a content
type of application/x-gnus-external-imap with a location header that looks
like a Netscape IMAP-ish URL.[1]
Or if there is an `imap' URL standard somewhere, that would be even
better. Could the message/external-body content-type be abused this way?
I would _really_ love to switch to IMAP, but without delaying attachments,
the appeal over and above POP is not compelling. :)
