For instance, imap_savebody can take a stream, and if we need to do
decoding, the most common cases can be handled by the base64 and
quoted-printable stream filters:

Some compression can be done on streams as well:

(there's a reader stream for zip, not sure about write support)

All of this will take some significant re-jiggering of the MIME libs, but
I think it's worth it to focus on streams and other newer PHP features
that'll help us save memory and speed in the MIME rewrite. I'm moving this
to a Horde 4 milestone and to the framework queue because of that.
