There's an extension called SMTPUTF8, informally known as EAI for
Email Address Internationalization, that in principle allows any
UTF-8
in addresses, but unless you are sending mail to people in India or
Thailand, you don't want to try it.
AFAIK, for most of the world is US-ASCII not enough, not only for
India or Thailand.
Absolutely true. However, I believe that what John meant to point out is
that support for SMTPUTF8 *in MTAs operating as MXs* is not widespread
enough to be useful except for mail to Indian and Thai addresses,
because even the rest of the non-ASCII world has broadly not yet decided
to allow SMTPUTF8. Hence, you are likely to not have success sending
high-bit-set bytes in headers unless you have a narrowly limited
audience of receivers.
