Thank you. I've applied the IMAP one. The escapeHTML issue I believe
I've fixed elsewise. Please let me know if it doesn't work for you.

As for the string encoding error, I'm reluctant to apply string encoding
patches like that because they tend to infect the entire codebase. (Sup
is a good example of this.) If you can figure out the source of the
corrupted string, then we can fix the problem at the point where it's
brought into the system rather than having to fix every possible place.

I am more than happy that someone is working on this, but it's not a
problem I personally want to address. I would rather make Heliotrope so
awesome that it's worth switching to, and provide easy exit mechanisms
so that you aren't trapped.
