It does get stored on the server either way (LITERALPLUS is just an imap
server extension that gives us different options for how we send). The
code actually munges an extra "X-TUID" rfc822 header into your message,
which has a randomly generated value. But we never _use_ the value for
anything. I think it is just inherited via cut-and-paste from the
original isync, which I guess actually does use it for synchronization.
The patch below rips it (and the arc4 code) out completely. It still
works in my simple test case, but I am not really an imap-send user, so
caveat emptor.
The other confusing bit is that the code carefully tracks the "uid"
(deep within the call chain it munges cb.ctx, which is a pointer to uid)
which is assigned to the newly created message by the server. This could
be used by a client to later refer to the same message unambiguously.
But we never do that, and just throw away the uid value that the server
gives us. Again, I suspect this is a holdover from isync wanting to do
repeated synchronization (and it looks like this x-tuid stuff may be
about working around servers which don't support certain uid
operations).
So that could probably be ripped out, too, with no ill effect.
That's just from looking at the code for a few minutes. I would not be
surprised if there is more useless cruft, nor would I be surprised to
find that I am totally wrong about something above.
Anyway, here is the patch to rip out the arc4 stuff. It has a very
pleasant diff-stat. :)
