I definitely agree, and I have changed the implementation to be in line with
current imap.c structure of the code.

I have added a new function (imap_perform_custom_fetch_body) that behaves
similarly to existing imap_perform_fetch, with the difference that it sends
the custom specified FETCH BODY command instead of building a FETCH command
with the data form the imap URL.

In the imap_state_select_resp function, where commands (e.g. search, fetch,
custom commands, etc...) are executed on receiving an OK response of a
"select" mailbox, I have added a check to verify if the custom command to
be executed is a fetch of a message body. If so, the new function
imap_perform_custom_fetch_body is invoked, otherwise the flow continues as
before by invoking the imap_perform_list function.

To me this seems ok now, but of course it's better to have it checked by
experts.

Thanks and BR,
Luca
