[imapfilter-devel] Double-quote in query string?

[David DeSimone]

I was trying to create a query like this:

    query =
    {
	'seen',
	'sentbefore ' .. date_before(7),
	'subject "[unix-admin] Output from \"cron\" command"',
    }

Notice the mail subject has literal "quote" characters that I want to
match.

Imapfilter silently produces no results.

When run in verbose mode, this error becomes apparent:

    C (3): 1003 UID SEARCH ALL (seen) (sentbefore 20-Aug-2004)
	(subject "[unix-admin] Output from "cron" command")
    S (3): 1003 BAD Missing required close paren in Search command

The quote characters are messing up the syntax.

Doesn't IMAP protocol allow for this character to be sent?  What can be
done to fix this problem?
