I thought Mark Crispin was going to take a six-pack of beer over to Russ
and fix that code? Or did I misunderstand?

How are we going to resolve the stuff about the ordering of AUTHINFO/TLS
and MODE READER?

Question: if mode-switching stands, are people happy with the way I present
it in pre4? In particular, Ken, are you happy that this better addresses
the stuff about using extensions before and after MODE READER?
