URIS of e-mails

E-mails can be identified using the uri scheme email:<messageid>.

If we Use IMAP URIS, then we have a lot of trouble: The IMAP Uris seem to be UTF7-IMAP encoded, a weird encoding scheme for that purpose. Only I cannot get the corresponding decoder to run, it is the XPCOM class @mozilla.org/intl/unicode/decoder;1?charset=x-imap4-modified-utf7 In Java, the specified encoding seems not to be available. In PHP it is, called imap_utf7_encode(). also, it is not deterministic how this thing works, the same string can have two different UTF7-IMAP representations. Test: Böser & enc1: B&lA-ser &- enc2: B&APY-ser &-
