 What I expected is, IMAP cached mails could be viewed by mutt when
 Internet is not available. this function could be enabled when body cache
 is enabled.

 maybe this could be a possible solution:

 1) cache message bodies in Maildir format
 2) switching IMAP mode to read (read-only)local caches when internet is
 disabled. (or an control option could also be used in the .muttrc)

 this is just a simple description what I am thinking about, there may have
 a much better solution.

 I wonder such a IMAP function is just because sometime or somewhere we
 want to review our old mails but Internet is not available unfortunately.

 I knew here is a script named offlineIMAP could a similar thing,
 but I think it is somewhat not elaborate and a little ugly to use a python
 script to do such a function in parallel with mutt. so I wish the function
 involved in the mutt's future release.
