Broken IMAP search with nnir.el

[Tassilo Horn <tassilo@member.fsf.org>]

Hi all,

I'm using nnir.el to search on an IMAP server, but there are some
problems:

1. If I search the group INBOX it finds some messages in subgroups
   thereof, but not all. For example if I search for "Welcome" it finds
   messages in a lot of subfolders, but if I search for "Frank Schmitt",
   it'll say "gnus-group-read-ephemeral-group: Couldn't request group:
   Search produced empty results.", althought there are some messages
   from him in different groups. If I do `G G' on those groups directly,
   his messages are found.

2. If I hit RET on the search results in the *Summary* buffer, sometimes
   a wrong message gets displayed in the *Article* buffer. See

       http://www.tsdh.de/images/nnir-imap-wrong-msg.png

   As you can see, the subject in summary and article buffer are
   different. "Frank Schmitt" is another recipient of the message
   displayed in *Article*, but it's not displayed in *Summary* and the
   linkage is wrong.

Bye,
Tassilo
