fetch-letter-sequence

Arguments: mailbox buffer &key start end

fetch-letter-sequence fills buffer with the next chunk of text read from the current letter (as established by with-fetch-letter-sequence). start specifies the index of the first element in the buffer in which to store, and end is one plus the index of the last element in which to store.

The return value will always be equal to end unless the end of the message was reached while reading, in which case the return value will be one plus the last index in the buffer filled.

fetch-letter-sequence is only implemented for pop mailboxes.

fetch-letter-sequence must only be used within a with-fetch-letter-sequence body.
