Nope, namazu doesn't offer utf8 support.

The solution I found was to use dovecot as a local imap server.
Dovecot indexes your mails and allows you to search them using the
imap search function (which is called through gnus). The only drawback
is that you cannot use regular expressions and the search is not as
fast as with the other search engines (but it is better than using the
microsoft exchange server they use at work).
I hope this may help somebody,
Damian.
PS: I wonder how many people is actually reading this list. My guess:
number_of_people_using_gnus / 3.1416.
