[imp] Delays in IMP

[Fernando Gont]

Folks,

I have installed IMP, and I have found the following problem:

It seems that whenever you surf through your mails, for example, the 
range 0-20, IMP must rertieve the entire body of all those messages.

When there are large messages in the range, this can cause troble, or at 
least long delays befor the list of mails can be displayed on the screen.

Is there any reason for retrieving the entire body of the messages, 
rather than getting the headers by means of the TOP command?

This would certainly speed things up, and avoid the problems I'm mentioning.

P.S.: I did sort of a quick reverse engineering, by means of tcpdump.

TIA,
