Currently I added a page to the cvs which allows one to submit messages
that cause retrieval errors. The are already dropping in several of
them, and so far the messages all have a malformatted From|To|Cc field,
which causes the imap server (uw/courier/others) to panic. Because SM
assumes a cool-headed (functional) imap server, it goes wrong.

The only solution I can see for now, are real "work-arounds": fetching
the *whole* message, and parsing the header and mimestructure in SM. Now
*that* is a whole projects on its own. Maybe a very small and bare
subset of this could be done, though.

The malformed header could screw up the folder listing as well, but I
fixed that in cvs already.
