Dear Maintainer,

I noticed, that I found no way to search for subject lines containing umlauts 
with Net::IMAP::Simple.
Claws-Mail for example has no problem finding emails whoise subject contains 
umlauts.

So I did try to debug the issue and noticed, that there are two ways to specify 
a search argument.

The rist one is by specifying the argument in the search line, the second one 
is by specifying the
length of the argument.

Obviously the second one is the only one that is umlauts aware, as this example 
with UW-IMAPD shows:

a UID SEARCH CHARSET utf-8 SUBJECT 'seehü'
a BAD Missing or invalid argument to UID SEARCH

a UID SEARCH CHARSET utf-8 SUBJECT seehü
a BAD Missing or invalid argument to UID SEARCH

a UID SEARCH CHARSET utf-8 SUBJECT {6}
+ Ready for argument
seehü
* SEARCH 544130 544131 544132 544151 544320 544355 544516 546049
a OK UID SEARCH completed

Any chance to implement this second search variant in Net::Imap::Simple?
