Bjorn Solberg reported that the fix wont work for him too:
See <news:m3bpud5mmy.fsf@famsolberg.com> on ding, or
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.gnus.general/68106/focus=68138
where he posted the *imap-debug*" buffer.

Maybe someone on emacs-devel has an idea (Cc-ed). For emacs-devel: we
are talking about the recent addition `imap-fetch-safe' in `imap.el'
and `nnimap.el'. AFAICS, the code in the Emacs trunk is uptodate.
Note that Dave uses Emacs 21, Bjorn uses Emacs/23.0.50 according to
his headers.

It should also be possible to set it as a server variable
(info "(gnus)Server Variables").

Simon? Others?
