Folks,

Blat does not currently support non-ASCII email addresses, either in the 
local name portion before the at-sign (@), or in the domain name after the 
at-sign.  I say this as it relates to the MAIL-FROM: and RCPT-TO: commands 
sent to the SMTP server when establishing a connection.  Do any of you good 
folks have an email address, or know someone with an email address, that 
contains non-ASCII characters?  For example: [email protected].  If Blat 
is told to send an email to the example address, it does not work properly. 
I have some changes I am working on that should allow non-ASCII characters 
in the email address to work with the MAIL-FROM: and RCPT-TO: commands, but 
I do not have any way to verify it works.

If you have an email address with non-ASCII characters in it, or know 
someone who does, I would really like to see a network trace (like from 
wireshark) using some other email program that clearly shows the MAIL-FROM: 
and RCPT-TO: commands when a test message is sent to such an address.  There 
are two conditions I am looking for.

1. The SMTP server _does_ support SMTPUTF8.

2. The SMTP server does _not_ support SMTPUTF8.  This one is more important 
for my purposes because I do not know what I should do with non-ASCII 
characters for the two commands listed above.

Thank you,
Chip
