The server shouldn't care what I send -- but looking at the cyrus
source I can tell the my first error is caused by sending \n without
\r before it.  I really think this is invalid -- according to the IMAP
spec servers should accept 8 bit data (and MIME encode it if it needs
to).

It's something like this anyway. ;-)

Yes. And would also explain why it works in XEmacs (no MULE).

ELMOs append command does it differently (with strings, not buffers),
but it's defuned but never used so I can't tell if it works (haven't
tried it yet).
