I got the following information from the IMC mailing list several months ago. The IMC website is a good place to look for e-mail related info. IMC News New IMC Internationalization Report Available Many mail users need to send messages to people outside their own country, and mail user agents (MUAs) have to be able to send and receive messages in an interoperable fashion. To this end, the IMC has released its report on which standards MUAs should implement in order to be considered "internationalized". Internationalization is a complex and still-changing field, and IMC's report should help its members determine what steps they have to take in order to meet the needs of the widest variety of users.
