dovecot - Jul 2004 - imap support question

OK, I'm actually trying to write something which interacts with IMAP.

I'm trying to run the FETCH command and it goes OK, but I'm wondering 
how I might be able to call both RFC822.SIZE and BODY[HEADERS.FIELDS(..) 
in the same call.  Right now I'm only able to get this to work with two 
calls to the server.  I was hoping to avoid making two calls.

Any suggestions?

(I realize it isn't exactly "on topic" for the mailing list, but I
can't
think of any list I'm on that's even close to the topic)

The IMAP protocol list is at
<http://www.washington.edu/imap/imap-list.html>

Note that this is not the same as the list that discusses the UW-IMAP 
server; that's the c-client list.

You could also ask in the news:comp.mail.imap newsgroup.

Put them inside paranthesis: fetch 1 (rfc822.size body[..] ...)

It's also a bit difficult to write IMAP compliant client, if you're 
intending to handle also the failure/noncommon cases instead of just 
writing a temporary kludge to do something. I've been thinking about 
creating a protocol that's easy to use for scripting, mostly because 
I'd want that myself.
