I don't see why this would be more error-prone than any other approach.
Hmm... I take that back. I don't know anything about the IMAP protocol, but after imagining for a few moments what it might be like, I can see how it could be more difficult than my example.
The user state of the parser might help you...
Hmm, can you elaborate on that? Basically, I *really* want to get away frmo having to use hGetContents. It is just not at all friendly for an interactive netwrk protocol. If I were just streaming a large file from an FTP server, it would be fine, but even using it to begin with involves using Handles in a nonstandard way (since there must be a separate Handle for writing, since hGetContents sents the Handle to be half-closed) that is apparently not well-supported. -- John
