I've gone through the entire thread. At the end there was a BOF announced for eai at the Oct 2003 IETF meetings. The first two hits for google: Internationalized Email Addresses are a list of drafts: http://www.ietf.org/ids.by.wg/eai.html and the charter posted March 2007: http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/eai-charter.html For the first link, google displays: The Email Address Internationalization (UTF8SMTP) extension allows UTF-8 characters in SMTP envelope and mail header fields. ... which is ironic since Bernstein spent about a year fighting for UTF-8 in DNS rather than the proposal which was accepted as RFC 3490. Almost all the draft proposals are dated November 2007. -- --gh
