Try doing it like this instead:

  A01 UID SEARCH CHARSET US-ASCII ALL UNDELETED SUBJECT {4}

Server should respond something like:

  + OK

Then finally do:

  what

Then hit enter.  There was two mistakes... The word "what" is 4
letters, if you wanted to include the ? that makes it 5, however the
IMAP specs say literal use requires you to wait for the server to tell
you to continue.  That occurs after you tell it how many characters
you're going to give it (the {4} bit).  This is a bug in the filters
plugin I mentioned a while ago, just not had a chance to fix it, and
was hoping somebody else might have taken a look after I mentioned it
a while ago.
