Yes. Dovecot's internal handling is different though. If you don't
specify character set, it compares the strings directly. If you do, it
attempts to do conversions to UTF-8 for both search key and each
existing header.

If you didn't compile with iconv support, or if it didn't support
windows-1251 charset I guess this could have happened. I'll change the
code so that it tries to compare it even if the charset translation
fails, so ASCII comparing at least works correctly. See if it works in
upcoming test79 or CVS.
