Now that there is not a way for a client to determine which algorithms a server supports ("PREVIEW=" capability detection was removed), this seems to be the only rational choice - allowing every server to potentially specify a different default algorithm would lead to an inconsistent IMAP experience across installations.

This is a move in the right direction, but we are not quite there yet. I 
have a few questions that might affect my specific suggestions:

1) The document says to use media type syntax, but not necessarily media 
types. If you want the former, you probably need a new registry (I 
recommend against that). If you want the latter, then why not just use 
text/plain, as a registered media type?

2) If there is a good reason not to use "text/plain", you need to 
registered "text/imap-fetch-preview" with IANA.

3) For unsupported media types, it would be good to define a new IMAP 
response code, similar to BADCHARSET.


Best Regards,

Alexey
