Public bug reported:
Gnus has optional International Domain Name support, but it requires the
idn package to be installed. In today's day and age, at least mentioning
this in README.Debian.gz or the package description or something would
be helpful.
vnix$ dlocate -S /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/gnus/lisp/message.el
gnus: /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/gnus/lisp/message.el
In this file, the description of `message-use-idna' says:
'Whether to encode non-ASCII in domain names into ASCII according to
IDNA. GNU Libidn, and in particular the elisp package "idna.el" and the
external program "idn", must be installed for this functionality to
work.'
vnix$ apt-file search -x '(idna.el|bin/idn\b)'
idn: usr/bin/idn
idna.el: usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/idna.el
** Affects: gnus (Ubuntu)
Importance: Untriaged
Status: Unconfirmed

Please Recommend: or Suggest: idn
