Yeah, the issue is a bug in debbugs; we don't encode the e-mail address
before we check for its validity.
not Mail::RFC822::Address::valid($param{submitter}) should read
not Mail::RFC822::Address::valid(encode_rfc1522($param{submitter}))
Thanks for the report.

If I had a letter, sealed it in a locked vault and hid the vault
somewhere in New York. Then told you to read the letter, thats not
security, thats obscurity. If I made a letter, sealed it in a vault,
gave you the blueprints of the vault, the combinations of 1000 other
vaults, access to the best lock smiths in the world, then told you to
read the letter, and you still can't, thats security.
