there is a specific reason to avoid punycode in my proposal (proposal
A), which is that it's not easily generated in a simple script; the
easiest way to upgrade several existing news software packages to handle
moderated non-ASCII groups is to wrap the mail-to-moderator program in a
script to do the necessary header changes. (This works for INN, Diablo,
my server, and at least some versions of DNews on some platforms -
basically any server which uses the common approach of doing
mail-to-moderator as an external program call.)
Good point. That should have been mentioned in my summary.
