Description

As reported on the user list, IMAP#fetch("1","body[header]") fails with an error such as:

org.apache.commons.net.MalformedServerReplyException: Received
unexpected IMAP protocol response from server: 'Return-Path: <snip>'

This is because the code does not currently handle literal strings, i.e.

{nnn}

CRLF
textCRLF
...
