Traditional line-oriented internet protocols

[Conrad Meyer]

Hi list,

Is anyone working on these things for the standard libraries (RFC822, SMTP,
POP3, IMAP come to mind)? (I'm sort of assuming the goal is to have a fairly
"batteries-included" stdlib -- correct me if I'm wrong.)

Thanks,

I'm investigating the possibility to implement an IMAP4 client but I'd
like to know the intentions of the Go's core team about that.

Cheers,
Andrea

No one here at Google is working on these, but I'd certainly
like to have them. I think for all four the most interesting part
is what the API looks like. Please post proposals here so
that we can discuss the API before there's too much implementation.

Hi,

Absolutely. If/when I have some time for this I'll post proposals to the list.
