That's a side-effect of UTF-8, yes, but my primary concern was indeed non-English e-mail addresses, people should have the right to use their own names. You have GPG for identity validation though.

- Avamander 7y agoIt's not like your mom without UTF-8 and without GPG is protected against phishing either. UTF-8 lookalikes are only a teeny-tiny fraction of any phishing. It's stupid anyways to rely on never having UTF-8 because most clients do it to the extent of making lookalikes possible, but not so that it's usable for internationalized e-mails. If anything, e-mail clients should have built-in warning against such attacks as well as you using proper methods of determining who you're e-mailing.
