When retrieving message contents via CURLOPT_CUSTOM_REQUEST, a message with a line beginning with '+ ' can cause the request to fail with the error "FTP: weird server reply".
Running in verbose, curl prints out "Unexpected continuation response", which is can be found in imap_endofresp.

This appears to be due to custom commands being treated as LIST instead of FETCH in this instance, so curl continues to do extra processing on the body.

Message to reproduce:

To: <test@example.org>
From: <test@example.org>(Example User)
Subject: IMAP Bogus message

+ This line breaks IMAP custom command processing.

Code to reproduce:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <curl/curl.h>

#define USERNAME "username"
#define PASSWORD "password"
#define SERVER_URL "imap://mail.example.org/"

// This is the UID of the message that contains a line beginning with "+ "
#define BAD_MESSAGE_UID "2358"
#define FETCH_COMMAND "UID FETCH " BAD_MESSAGE_UID " (UID BODY.PEEK[1])"

int main(void) {
    CURL *curl;
    CURLcode res;

    curl = curl_easy_init();
    if( curl ) {
        curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_USERNAME, USERNAME);
        curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PASSWORD, PASSWORD);

        curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1L);
        curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, SERVER_URL "INBOX");

        // Do the request
        curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, FETCH_COMMAND);
        res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
        if( res != CURLE_OK ) {
            fprintf(stderr, "curl_easy_perform() failed: %s\n", curl_easy_strerror(res));
        }

        curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
    }

    return res;
}

Relevant output:
