Summary: imaplib search() quoting search criteria

Initial Comment:
Imaplib IMAP4.search() contains a bug in criteria
handling: when
sending a single word criterium it gets written to the
stream well: 
	M.search(None, 'ALL')
produces:
	GINH16 SEARCH
ALL                                         

But a criterium with a white space will be quoted:

	M.search(None,'TEXT Hello')
produces in the tcp stream:
	GINH17 SEARCH "TEXT Hello"

which gets rejected because quotes are only allowed
around
the string, not the criterium:
	GINH17 SEARCH TEXT "Hello"

This doesn't look like a bug to me.  Looks like the search
call is incorrect.  I think it should be called as

    M.search(None, "TEXT", "Hello")

I've never used the imaplib stuff before, however.  I'd
welcome some input from someone who has.
