Subject: gnus-search & imap: always "CHARSET UTF-8" when literal+ is supported
Date: Thu, 21 Oct 2021 20:11:32 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <cun5ytqxkez.fsf@dme.org> (raw)

Using current emacs git head, talking to outlook.office365.com over
IMAP.

Attempts to use gnus-search always fail with the server reporting:

(("NO" ("BADCHARSET" "(US-ASCII)") "The" "specified" "charset" "is" "not" "supported."))

Looking at gnus-search.el, `gnus-search-imap-search-command' always
sends CHARSET UTF-8 if the server supports literal+ (which this one
does). Sending US-ASCII (or no charset at all) causes the server to
return the required results in simple test cases.

Is there a way to determine whether a server supports UTF-8 in searches,
and adjust the command sent accordingly? If not, could the use of UTF-8
be controlled with (yet another!) variable?

Thanks.

dme.
