Hi Nikolaus,

I am in no way qualified to speak on behalf of Gnus and its developers,
but I did want to say thank you very much for these patches -- it will
be great to see Gnus gradually mature as an IMAP client. The development
of Gnus seems to go by fits and starts, as people have time to devote to
it, particular for relatively deep-plumbing areas like this, so it's
possible you won't get much response for a while -- don't be
discouraged! I'm on the road with a temporary computer now, but will be
happy to run your patches once I'm back home, and report any
problems/comments.

Thanks!
Eric
