Well, I have to eat those words. Libmutt's imap code *asks* for that 
header, but it's not clear whether it ever receives it or what it would 
do with the information if it did. It appears to count lines when the 
message is downloaded, even though the information is contained in the 
BODY and BODYSTRUCTURE data items in the FETCH response, so it wouldn't 
be available until you've viewed a message.
