Actually, no.  IMP RELENG has a brand new MIME interface that allows easy
access to message headers.  IMP 3.x does not have this.  Since the MIME
framework is not backward compatible (and, as it has been completely
rewritten, it's essentially pointless to backport) it will not be merged to
RELENG.  You need to use HEAD (or, eventually, Horde 3.0/IMP 4.0) to get
this functionality.
