I'm afraid I don't know enough about charset usage to give an intelligent
answer here.  I'm not even sure I understand how a user could send a search
in Japanese text while in a Russian interface. Now I know the next area for
some self-study.

At the risk of sounding stupid, is this something that could be put into a
pref? Something like 'Force charset?' for non-compliant IMAP servers?  I'll
give another go at convincing this host to provide UTF-8 support as the RFCs
require.  Nothing but problems with this provider...
