Comment(by brendan):
I'm not sure about your diagnosis. First of all, I'd be pretty surprised
if the send buffer were 4K -- I'd expect 64K+, I think, which should be
well over the total amount of data mutt is pipelining. Second, when the
buffer is exceeded, the sender should simply block, not return a short
writes. Finally, it's up to the IMAP server to read from its incoming
queue to uncork the pipeline. There's no application-level requirement
that I can think of for mutt to read anything until it's finished sending
its command data.
