Yes.  RFC2822 section 3.4.1.  I just had this argument with someone
about something else.  But since non-ASCII DNS is now allowd, I'm not
certain how that should work.   But I suppose that is a separate, not
really GROUPDAV, issue.

Have you converted your database from from LATIN-1 to UTF-8 (really an
OGo-Users@ and not a GroupDAV one)?
