You mean that you want the server to translate charsets to UTF-8?  I would 
support doing that with an alternative form of FETCH, e.g., UTF8.FETCH. 
But then there would have to be an error on a charset conversion failure, 
and it begs the question as to why the CONVERT extension in Lemonade 
doesn't do that.

IIRC, the only IMAP specific things that are 7-bit are keywords and 
mailbox names.
