Summary
Fixes the high memory usage reported in #39 when fetching full IMAP message bodies.
This changes the IMAP fetch path so literal response bodies are read as
ByteStrings directly from the stream instead of being parsed through the existing packrat/String parser and then packed back intoByteString.Root Cause
fetchreturned aByteString, but internally it went throughfetchByString, causing large IMAP literals to be represented as:StringByteStringThat made full-message fetches allocate far more memory than the message size.
Changes
fetchByByteStringandfetchByByteStringR.fetch,fetchPeek,fetchHeader,fetchR, and related APIs through the ByteString-native path.fetchByStringandfetchByStringRas compatibility wrappers.FETCHresponses directly fromBSStreamand read{n}literals withbsGet n.Validation
