Re: New-ish idea on non-ascii headers

I think Nathaniel's idea on defining new header fields to contain user
text is fine.  Certainly for the foreseeable future (maybe beyond), the
header representation of envelope data has to stay us-ascii for reasons
that Ran Atkinson outlined.  Even RFC-ZZZZ explicitly allows negotiated
8-bit characters only in the data following the DATA command, not in the
envelope addresses.

How do the implementors in the west-European countries feel about this?
