Re: Testing UTF-8 email addresses

Just a question - to you or whoever: Is “UTF-8 email address” something 
other than e-mail addresses where the domain name is an IDN? Or does it 
related to the part before the @-character? 

Btw: As a person who has personal experience over some years with using 
the former - an e-mail address with an IDN domain name, I find that the 
only trouble I have is when some online service asks me to enter my 
email address: It ought to be possible to type foo@målform.example.com 
- in decoded form. But I constantly have to use the IDN coded form - 
foo@xn--mlform-iua.example.com.
