I don't believe it will at this time. Up to now, newsgroup names have
been in ASCII. If this changes, the code will have to change to
accommodate it.

Please file an RFE bug with reference to the current IETF draft on this.
It is after all only a draft at this stage and probably needs
modifications along the way. By the way proposing all USETNET news
headers in 8bit to be in UTF-8 is not going to spread any time soon. For
languages like Japanese, there is a separate RFC for the encoding to be
used in news/mail and I don't see it changing any time soon, either.

This is just encoding support. Communicator or Mozilla is currently able
to display UTF-8 headers if properly MIME-encoded.
If it is raw 8-bit, Mozilla should be able to but I am not sure about
Communicator. It should be able to but there might be a bug.

Please file an RFE on Bugzilla with all the details and start the
discussion there.
