IMAP messages are immutable. You cannot change them after the fact.
This us one of the many tricky issues with supporting an IMAP message
store.
E.g., it will be difficult to make anno behave correctly in all cases.
if the underlying message store is immutable, i expect anno to do one of
two things:
1. maintain state locally -- this means other IMAP users on the same or
other hosts will not see anno's changes.
2. fail.
overall i prefer #2.
right. this should be pretty similar to accessing a mail archive
mounted read-only.
(i use mhpath to edit and modify messages -- admittedly usually "to
do" lists i've sent to myself. i wouldn't expect that to work from
from imap.)
