Description

JMAP has a boolean hasAttachment property. For JMAP/IMAP mapping, there should be an equivalent in IMAP. The present registry model for JMAP/IMAP keywords allows registering a "reserved" keyword (if we want to define it later) or an "IMAP-only" keyword (if we want to define it in JMAP). I'm willing to supply text either way. I have a slight preference for defining an "IMAP-only" keyword in the JMAP mail spec since the definition of hasAttachment is already in the JMAP spec. For completeness, the third option would be to lose the boolean property and make it a 'both' keyword (with the same definition, but a few caveats for the IMAP case, for backwards compatibility).

Research direction

Start by reading the JMAP mail specification's definition of hasAttachment and the present JMAP/IMAP keyword registry model. Compare the reserved, IMAP-only, and both-keyword options described in issue #212; done requires a decided direction and the corresponding specification text.
