Fixed.  Required a rewrite of the way we handled fetch data in the  
IMAP client.  Considering this is about 75% of the activity of an IMAP  
client, this was not a small undertaking.

Not super excited about rewriting a good portion of the IMAP client a  
couple of months before we release H4, but this issue was a  
showstopper.  Broken IMAP servers, which exist and over which we have  
no control, could render a IMP user completely unusable.  That was  
unacceptable.  Now, the user may get garbage for certain elements of  
the message if the IMAP server is broke, but the message is  
viewable/deletable and it doesn't break the underlying mailbox.
