This is not a solution but a workaround that might serve until PM
supports international domain names:
Before adding such an email address to your address book, convert it to
"punycode" using one of the converters that can be found on the web,
e.g. <http://idnaconv.phlymail.de/index.php>.
<sø...@bæk.dk'> will result in <xn--sren-...@xn--bk-1ia.dk>.
If you add this encoded form to your address book, PM is able to handle
this address without problems (at least on the few addresses that I tested).
Regrettably, to make autocompletion work, you have to start typing "xn"
which will list all addresses that are encoded in this way. (But I said
it's just a workaround...)
Kind regards,
Tobias Jung
