IMAP supports non-ASCII charsets but the protocol is a bit cumbersome and I haven't implemented it in nnir yet. The support is also server dependent: the spec says all servers must support US-ASCII but are not required to support any other charsets. I have no idea which servers support what at the moment. To see if your server supports iso-8859 you can try to use a raw imap search and append "CHARSET ISO-8859" and see what happens :) Andy
