Respectfully, this is not a bug in c-client.  I can use Pine to successfully
use backslash-containing passwords.  Pine uses c-client.  This is a bug in
IMP.  IMP is successfully preserving backslashes in email subjects and email
bodies, but is not preserving backslashes in login passwords.

The core of my bug report is
(1) IMP should allow the full range of passwords that the IMAP protocol
allows.
(2) IMP does not  successfully do this.

If you need more information, I would be happy to provide more.  This bug is
simple to reproduce, and I provided instructions in my first message.
