--- Comment #2 from Graeme Fowler <graeme@???> ---
>From the PDF:


"Exim is a widely used open source mail server that provides an MSA and MTA. We
installed it on a test host and configured it with several EAI addresses in IDN
domains. Exim provides both Phase 1 and Phase 2 EAI support and passed most
tests.

Exim’s developers consider an EAI message to be one with UTF-8 envelope
addresses and an ASCII message to be one without UTF-8 envelope addresses, even
if the message’s headers include UTF-8. While we disagree with their
interpretation, we think it is unlikely to cause problems in practice since
messages with ASCII envelopes and UTF-8 headers are uncommon.

Exim does not provide a POP or IMAP server. It is typically used with the
Dovecot or Cyrus IMAP/POP servers neither of which currently has EAI support."

I do tend toward's Jeremy's viewpoint however: if the bug report is not itself
clear, and requires extra legwork on behalf of the small maint and dev team,
this is not an optimal way to report a bug.

There is nothing technical in the PDF report to work with, simply the above
statement that interpretations differ.

If you'd like to offer more technical detail, please feel free otherwise this
is likely to be closed as INVALID.
