What they hey, I just tried it on my dovecot server and prepending (not
appending, my mistake) CHARSET ISO-8859-1 works. Also UTF-8 works.

Right now the only way to do this is with raw imap searches (which
aren't very different from the little language that nnir
implements). I'll think about how/whether to support charsets in some
other way as well.
