[imp] Re: IE caching mailbox pages - please help!

If I login to IMP and logout again, I can hit the "back" button in IE and my 
INBOX is still visible.  I tried simulating a login with openssl s_client and I 
got the Pragma: no-cache and Cache-Control: no-cache headers back on all pages. 
  Is this just an IE bug?
