Really?  I thought it only fetched the headers once, and then used
COPY+Delete to move it.  Maybe things work differently when fancy
splitting is used, I don't use it.

Maybe tramp could be extended to support reading/storing files in IMAP
somehow?  I don't know much about tramp so maybe this won't work.
