User (or automation) already has to configure IMAP and submission server
to MUA, so how does BURL make it any more difficult? I'd expect it to
work like:

1. client APPENDs/CATENATEs message to IMAP server
2. client requests URLAUTH URL
3. client connects to submission server
4. client sends message with BURL

If user has managed to configure someone else's submission server, then
either BURL isn't supported or BURL fails, and step 4 is replaced with
regular DATA command.
