Hi everybody,

I have some questions regarding IMAP.

First, it seems that RFC 3501 is missing the definition of 'CHAR'.
More precisely, in RFC 2060 I found that

QUOTED_CHAR     ::= <any TEXT_CHAR except quoted_specials> / "\" quoted_specials
TEXT_CHAR       ::= <any CHAR except CR and LF>
CHAR            ::= <any 7-bit US-ASCII character except NUL, 0x01 - 0x7f>
                     
but in RFC 3501 and in its errata I was not able to find what 'CHAR' means.
QUOTED-CHAR     = <any TEXT-CHAR except quoted-specials> / "\" quoted-specials
TEXT-CHAR       = <any CHAR except CR and LF>
CHAR                    = ???

Second, assuming that the RFC 2060 definition of 'CHAR' is the right
one, what should an IMAP server  respond  to the request, say, 
B1 SEARCH CHARSET UTF-8 TEXT "0x80" ? 
(Mozilla 1.4 is sending requests like the above).
Should the server respond with a tagged BAD response?

Thanks,
Marcel
