[Imap-protocol] non-ASCII byte sequences in IMAP?

I'm looking at the various uses of CHARSET in IMAP. It appears to
occur in two places: the SEARCH command, and the FETCH response. I
think it can also appear in the message literal in the APPEND command.
So those are the only three places where an IMAP server (or client)
might see non-ASCII byte streams. Everything else is ASCII.

Is that correct?
