Airnews doesn't have to until they start trying to submit posts to
moderated groups with non-ASCII names, at which point they have an
incentive to fix this.
Again, the *only* mail sites that would see addresses with %'s in them are
the moderation relay sites and the news server to which someone posted to
a moderated group with a non-ASCII name. The moderators themselves would
not see such addresses (they would have already been mapped to the final
address by the relay sites).
