If you install GNU Libidn [1] and load gnus-idna.el from the contrib
directory in CVS, this mail should appear as being sent from
simon@räksmörgås.josefsson.org and you can reply to and it will appear
the same way in the message buffer and it will be delivered correctly.

If you don't, you'll get a xn--rksmrgs-5wao1o instead, which might not
be as tasty, but should work anyhow.

Isn't the use of non-ASCII against RFCs?

Technically it still is ASCII, although it can be decoded into Unicode
if you know the trick, like QP.  See
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-idn-idna-14.txt which
is approved as a RFC for the details.
