Subject: nnir and character encodings?
Date: Mon, 27 Dec 2010 12:01:28 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <yb0d3ona393.fsf@dod.no> (raw)

Question: how does nnir handle character encodings?

I tried to search my nnimap server for "widerøe" (without the quotes) to
find my X-mas airplane tickets.  That came up with no matches.

But "wideroe" (again without the quotes) came up with matches.

So the searches seems to be ASCII-only...?  I don't know whether that
limitation is in nnir, or the protocol, or the dovecot IMAP server.

It could be encoding mismatch as well.  Ie. one component in the search
operating in iso-8859-1 and one in utf-8 or something like that.

(Note: that "wideroe" actually worked isn't so strange.  The email
address of the sender is @wideroe.top-level-domain-removed )
