same reason as before: it's reading everything from DONE\r\n through
the next command as the IDLE terminator, instead of just DONE\r\n
(that is, it's draining the socket buffer). So it doesn't know mutt's
sent a new command, and mutt doesn't know it doesn't know and stupidly
waits for the answer.

Thanks! I don't know how long it'll last until January though - most
of the changes I've been making have to do with my awful connectivity
when I'm home :)
