It is not useful without the external 'idn' command. And if you install libidn to get it, you will probably get idna.el too. But I don't object to adding it, it would simplify some message.el code (to simply assume idna.el exists). > On the other hand, it looks like IDNA is going the way of the dodo, > isn't it? Are anybody using it at all? I get spam to my IDNA-address... IDNA is gaining grounds slowly for web browsing (especially in Asia, I imagine), but for e-mail the solution is simply not good enough -- the local-part isn't internationalized -- so the people who wants fully internationalized e-mail will have to wait for EAI: http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/eai-charter.html
