Just found the following in the IETF-annonce list. Clearly of interest for
when we come to do I18N newsgroup-names. But it needs a lot of work doing
on it yet.
A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : SMTP Service Extensions or Transmission of Headers
in UTF-8 Encoding
Author(s) : P. Hoffman
Filename : draft-hoffman-utf8headers-00.txt
Pages : 0

Mailbox names often represent the names of human users. Many of these
users throughout the world have names that are not normally represented by
the users with just the ASCII repertoire of characters, and would
therefore like to use their real names in their mailbox names. These users
are also likely to use non-ASCII text in their common names and subjects
of email messages, both in what they send and what they receive. This
protocol specifies how to represent all headers of email messages encoded
in UTF-8.
