[imp] IMP 3.1/Horde 2.1 "No Data" Error

[Tim Meader]

Hmmmm... hate to be the barer of bad news, and hopefully this problem 
hasn't crept in for you, but there is a known issue with c-client 2002x's 
library and empty attachments in IMP. Just to be sure everything is still 
working for you, try to download an attachment from an email through IMP. 
Using IMAP 2002, mine would come up with an empty document after the save 
file dialog. Only fix right now is to go back to IMAP2001 c-client library. 
And unfortunately this is a PHP, and not an IMP, issue. So we are dependant 
on PHP's next version for the fix. Like I said though, not everyone has 
seen this behavior... hopefully you are one of the lucky ones.

PS - this only applies to the c-client libraries that you compile PHP 
against. You can run the IMAP 2002 imapd on your mail servers that IMP 
connects to without problem.
