Actually, this isn't quite right either, because of the possibility of
|
|
failure of a SELECT command, which implies to me the entire paragraph
|
|
is bogus (since the original text didn't address this case).
|
|
|
|
Perhaps "a SELECT or EXAMINE command is issued (regardless of if it
|
|
succeeds or fails)" is closer. Really, the important part of the
|
|
second paragraph is "until the time that selection ends" which is
|
|
immediately upon the next SELECT command (which deselects the mailbox
|
|
first)
