If so, then I think "SNIPPET" should be an alias for BODY.PEEK[the first significant text section]<<partial>>. i.e., the server does not do anything more than determine the "the first significant text section". The client still gets to use <<partial>> as it could today. -- Cyrus Daboo _______________________________________________ imapext mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/imapext
