The lack of IMAP compliance isn't really as serious as you seem to think.
that may well be the case ... i'm simply presuming, based on oft-made excuses @ MUA dev that "it's not in the IMAP spec blah blah blah" that it IS a peblem.
Almost all MUAs work just fine with the lack of it. GMail's IMAP search is also not IMAP compliant. Several other servers' search is neither. Apparently there are some little used MUAs (or users) that really want the substring searching to work, but I doubt you'll actually find any such users.
ok. i'll file this under wait-n-see. thanks.
