Hmm, synchronisation might be an issue when done with the Message-ID header.
But there _are_ other ways. Lets think about comparing the contents that are
important information (like message content, To:, From:, CC:, BCC:, any
more?). Maybe slower with masses but to get the header, you have to get the
whole message anyway, don't you?
Then ups, sorry, your mail messed up my threading. Actually, that's the worst
that could happen, isn't it?
But who cares about all this? Bored mailing list admins?
BTW: What's the point in using IMAP when not using it as such (working online
with an IMAP capable program that simply uses the draft from the server). Or
maybe I did not get the point here?
