I've understood the following to be legal, but I suspect it'd cause
much breakage:
C: tag UID FETCH u BODY[1]
S: * s FETCH BODY [1] {n}
S: ...
S: * s FETCH UID u
S: tag OK
Certainly in my client's case I'm not sure how well the code-path
that copes with the first will work. It'd handle it if it happened to
know which UID message number s had already, but otherwise I'm really
not sure. Mind you, I'm also not sure that my client could ever get a
body part without knowing the UID.
I'm pretty sure that sending any implicit UID first, then everything
else all on the same FETCH response, is not going to break anyone.
Dave.
