LISTMSGS should be changed so the client can request only X number of messages (starting with the most recent), and then the X next most recent, etc.

However, some thoughts.

• What if a new message comes in during that list?

• What if a message is deleted during that list?

• Is the list generated, then used regardless of what happens to the messages? Or is each section of the list generated on the fly?

• How will this affect the GETLOG command? Will it require the server provide a {timestamp, offset} which indicates the list is based on any information prior to that token?
