Summary: imaplib fetch is broken

Initial Comment:
This bug is 100% reproducible in Python 2.2.1 and the 
imaplib.py from Python's CVS tree. 
 
They'll send the message body in this form: 
{100} 
Headers here, body here, (100 characters worth) 
 
This is specified in RFC2060 secion 4.3.  imaplib's fetch 
chokes on 
"unexpected data" in the response. 
 
imaplib should receive this prefix-quoted string properly 
and return it in a 
non-quoted fashion. 
 
As it is, it is totally impossible to read messages from 
most imap servers.
