I'm wondering anyway if the umlaut domains in real life will work.

For example, will the MTA's and MUA's understand such domain names?
As far as I know the SMTP headers should only be 7-bit ASCII or
correctly encoded, which your email did. But I also see a lot other mail
programs which can't do it (probably my old Netscape 4.8, which I use
here to send mail, won't to it).

On Heise Newsticker was once the Posting with the title "Ist
[EMAIL PROTECTED] paradox?"
(http://www.heise.de/newsticker/data/tol-23.11.03-002/)

I really don't care about the umlaut domains as I'm usually working on a
workstation with a US-Keyboard, so they won't sell me anything. ;)

For international compatibility people which have a umlaut domain will
probably also register the corresponding domain with 7-bit ASCII, for
example M�venpick would probably not be happy if international customers
need to type the � on their keyboards which they don't have.

only my 2 cents
