I have a piece of mail from a German correspondent:

Date: Tue, 16 Mar 1999 01:43:42 +0100
From: G�nter Grass <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: Re: Identifier

[body of mail]

When I try to repl to this I get:

repl: bad addresses:
        G�nter Grass <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- missing mailbox (�)

When I try to scan it I get:

   1+ 03/16 G nter Grass <gue  Re: Identifier<<[body of mail]

I know I should check nmh 1.0 first but are such characters legal in
headers according to the RFC or is his mail program broken for not
encoding them? Could/should nmh be a bit more forgiving and treat those
characters with accents as alphabetics?

        Thanks, Ken
