Re: [Nmh-workers] nmh architecture discussion: format engine character set

Hi Ken,

We're going to a point where UTF-8 is going to appear in email
addresses.  That's technically allowed today under the new RFCs.

Right, and without a fallback `ASCII' encoding, say.  So if I give your
butler my calling card then you simple can't type in my email address to
your non-Unicode system.  Nor can you encode it with escapes in any
fashion unless nmh grows its own encoding system where the RFCs don't
require one and decode to UTF-8 before sending.  Lots of work and extra
documentation for few? users.

Cheers, Ralph.
