Anyway .. the BINARY APPEND converts only the MIME parts that you
send with "Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary". Are you sending such
header to Dovecot?I can verify this isn't working as you described above:
1 APPEND "INBOX" CATENATE (TEXT {49+} Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="A" TEXT ~{1} 1 NO [UNKNOWN-CTE] Binary input allowed only when the first part is binary.
What do you do then if server advertises CATENATE but not BINARY?
Anyway for the other possibilities Dovecot could:
a) Put all CATENATEd messages through the istream-binary-converter, but just not do any actual C-T-E:binary conversion until the first ~{binary} part is found.
b) Just treat ~{n} exactly the same as ~{n}, unless it's the first part of CATENATE.
Maybe this should be aked about in IMAP mailing list .. (Didn't I already ask something about CATENATE+BINARY combination?)
