Eeek!  Wouldn't you know it--I went and said this I'd go and spend
several hours hacking on it.  I now have a very grody parser that
works in some cases but not others.  I'm planning on spending another
hour or two making a -real- parser right now.  I'll be at MIT for a
conference on Kerberos over the next week, so progress will be slow
then, but look for results soon.

For hacking potential, see:

<file://localhost/afs/cs.cmu.edu/user/visigoth/src/emacs/imap.el> with AFS or
<ftp://olivier.pc.cs.cmu.edu/pub/imap.el.gz> otherwise.

The version in AFS will be updated as I work on it.  I'll try to
remember to put the "real" parser in place when I get it done.

Note--this isn't an attempted nnimap.el yet--this is lower-level
stuff.  Once the general imap code is done, nnimap should be pretty
easy.
