Yep, but ldapmodify deletes *all* "mail:" entries. If I tcpdump the
stream of a jxplorer session, I see a modify request, which consists of
indeed a delete and an add. But the "delete" has an attribute value:

+modification: 2 items
 +modification: item
   operation: delete (1)
   + modification: mail
      type: mail
     + vals: 1 item
        AttributeValue: user2@example.com
   operation: add (0)
   + modification: mail
      type: mail
     + vals: 1 item
        AttributeValue: otheruser@example.com

How do I tell ldapmodify just to delete 1 particular item with
AttributeValue=X, and not all of them?
