Thanks for the pointer.
I was using Debian's upstream which I doubt is the latest release. I'll look

I don't think filing a bug is the correct thing to do since as Dieter pointed
out the problem is with bogus mail applications breaking the RFC and not a bug
in OpenLDAP. However with the practicality of using UTF-8 for the mail
