Feature #7145: Add string-based range support to IMAP library

• Status: Rejected
• Assignee: shugo (Shugo Maeda)
• Target version: 2.6

The imap protocol supports fetching ranges of messages using notation like "1:" (to fetch all messages). I'd like to support things like: @im.fetch('1:', 'FULL')@

I've already implemented this as part of https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/193 and https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/194

Was in "ruby 1.9.3p194" that I noticed the problem.

I broke the pull request. https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/196 is the fixed one.

You can specify "1:*" like im.fetch(1..-1, 'FULL').
Can you tell me any other use case of an arbitrary String message set?

I close this issue because there's no feedback for a long time.
