Introduction

This patch is based on work done my Michael Elkins. I looked at the patch and tried to understand what he did. After that I started to code the stuff from scratch. Some things are recycled from his code. Also the places where the maildir header cache interferes are the same like in Michael Elkins original patch. But I am using a different (hopefully more performant) mechanism to save/restore the header information. Also I try to save all of the header (not only what I have to to get it working somehow). However, there are some exceptions to this: The next, parts and hdr pointer in the struct body (header->content) are not saved and not restored.
