IMAP URLs that I used for subscribing huang1 account for huang/ReadPrivilege 
folder:
imap://user@host/foldername
(e.g. imap://[e-mail]/ReadPrivilege)
imap://userid@host/Shared%20Folders/User/userid/shared_fdr_name
(e.g. imap://[e-mail]/Shared%20Folders/User/huang/ReadPrivilege)

there's no imap code running here. When you send a message, that's part of
message composition. This is actually BenB's code, I believe, but I don't think
he fixes bugs in it. -> JF. I might have time to look at this at some point, but
-> JF for now.

I don't know if it fits here since it doesn't appear in the composition window, but sip:[e-mail] in mail text is also linked with mailto:.

This is WFM nowadays. All you get now is an "Uncaught exception: Load of imap://...... denied".
