This is consistent behavior with pine and other clients. It's been discussed
many times before - see the list archives.

I'd like some explanation and reproducibility on this before I add two
imap_search() calls to the two most commonly used pages.

Not currently. I'm planning on adding the option to 2.3 at some point, 
though.

And then somebody answer that this could be a good solution:

Also have a look at http://www.engelschall.com/sw/smtpclient/ which
can deliver to remote smtp servers.  It should be a simple patch to
alter the call to sendmail to use this new one (just rgrep for a
popen() and that's your function)


Well, I just want to know if somebody use it, and if this solution works 
good. Comments, & sugestions R welcome too.

Thankz.
