| I don't think so:
|
| - my server is openvms
| - I run both imap servers simultaneously (one is listening on port 143, other
| on 144)
| - sender sends one message (multipart/alternative with attachment)
|
| Horde/Imp work when I connect to PMDF's Imap server (I see text/html and
| attachment and I'm able to save this attachment), but when I connect to
| HP/Compaq's Imap server I don't see attachment.

So it sounds like maybe the two servers are parsing the message a little
differently.  But that doesn't take away the problem that IMP 3.x doesn't
handle multipart/alternative messages.  Any output you get using IMP 3.x is
from IMP trying to handle it as a simple multipart/mixed message (which is a
completely different thing) so your mileage will vary between different
messages.
