If they do, it's a bug. Since a 7 bit MTA will typically lose the high bit, it would be more honest just to throw the mail away, since there's little chance it'll arrive in usable form. In any event, EAI is what it is. If you don't think it's useful to support non-ASCII mail addresses, you don't have to implement it. R's, John
