Subject: [Imap-protocol] Combining LITERAL+ and BINARY
Message-ID: <f99afad3-282b-4ab6-a576-330978724819@flaska.net>

Hi,
I was wondering what is the correct way of combining LITERAL+ [1] and BINARY [2]. Unless I'm mistaken, their interaction is not documented in any of the two RFCs. If I'm correct, this means that one can either benefit from 8bit APPENDs while blocking with synchronizing literals, or use LITERAL+ and do the encoding to some transport format on their own, not using BINARY. Is that right?

(Thanks to Michael M Slusarz for mentioning that literal8 is actually supported in APPEND as well in another thread.)

With kind regards,
Jan
