LSUB uses a "subscribed" list on the server.  I'm not sure how you
created yours, but you can make nnimap-list-pattern be a copy of this
list.  Not easy or central, but just another solution.

We should read UIDs as strings, but we seem to have forgotten to do it
in a few places.  This patch should fix it.  Let me know if it works.
