Hi,

Should nmh try to get out in front with email address
internationalzation (EAI)?  See resources below.

>From the MUA perspective, IIUC, it relies on native support on the
host to handle unencoded UTF-8 addresses.  Would nmh support just be a
matter of 1) not encoding addresses (controlled by a switch) in
outgoing messages and 2) when showing a message, indicating that an
address couldn't be displayed?

Does anyone have experience using it?  Gmail supports it, according
to the article below.

Thanks,
David
