[Download RAW message or body]

I'm wrong to say there's anything inherently wrong with an async 
messaging library.

There's no reason why such a library can't be as efficient both memory 
and time wise as an async library. If KMime is anything like Marcs 
other work I expect this is the case.

Determining whether a message is already downloaded is obviously the 
duty of the mail client, I would be surprised if the abstraction 
between the mail client and message library was broken in KMime, 
after all it's in libkdenetwork so can't rely on kdenetwork/kmail 
header files.

I do get annoyed at some of Marc's KMail architecture criticisms. Some 
of his criticisms are valid. However I feel that other criticisms are 
not valid. A simple bug or missing feature that is relatively easy to 
fix may be mistakenly labeled as a deep architectural problem.

Don.
