Then subscriptions will be handled directly in the public namespace, 
therefor all users would have the same folders subscribed, right?

That would cause permission problems, as not all users are allowed to 
see every folder.

Such commands are actually performed and logged in the rawlog (e.g. 
20091005-221025-26325.in), but I don't see any responses back to the client.

I'll upgrade to 1.2.6 and check if the problem still occurs.
