I see now. I was confused by the way you issued both body[...]/envelope and 
rfc822, sorry.

Why do you want to download e.g. the From address twice?

Same as for every network protocol: One that downloads little more than it 
uses, that doesn't send unnecessary commands, that chooses efficient and 
effective commands for its purpose, and that avoids making its user wait 
for the network.

Most clients have both good and bad aspects. For example, the client I'm 
using to type this only downloads one copy of the From address for a 
message, and doesn't download large attachments unless I need those 
attachments: Good. But it's also checked the number of messages in the 
Drafts folder dozens of time while I was sleeping in my bed tonight: Bad.
