Hallo,

I have a newsletter (html-format) which contains the word "Briefumschläge". If I search the folder containing the mail after "Briefumschläge" nothing is found. If I search after "Briefumschl" the mail is found, also when I search after "Briefumschläge". So obviously something is wrong with the searchfunction. It doesn't know that when I search for ä ö or ü it has to be translated to "&..."

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Get an html mail containing the characters ä ö or ü
2. Search the folder containing that mail
3. The mail won't be found
