All versions of Cyrus, and all implementations of Cyrus for that matter,
use - or are supposed to use - UTF-8 for the encoding of the SIEVE
scripts.

The class is supposed to receive data in UTF-8 format. It does not do
any conversion by itself.

You can use ut8_encode() and utf8_decode() but they work only for
ISO-8859-1. Another option would be to feed the class directly with
UTF-8, or use mbstring, recode or iconv.

If you are using avelsieve, try enabling mbstring support in your PHP
setup. The latest development version also supports iconv and recode
modules.
