Re: [lemonade] Lack of text after resp-text-code



1. I strongly suspect that there are clients that require text to be there. When the INN NNTP server appeared and sent a single ASCII space as text, a good few NNTP clients were surprised. I doubt IMAP client authors are more careful.

2. When compression is used, that text turns to just a few bits anyway since each particular server usually uses just a few stock phrases. Compression seems to be deployed fairly quickly (more via TLS than the Lemonade document, fine with me) so the text matters less and less.
