<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#0F243E">This is indeed good news, however I’d like to confirm what you’ve heard at ICANN London (the link to the transcript below is not working for me). Is it EAI (eg
<a href="mailto:福祥@邓.中国"><span lang="ZH-CN" style="font-family:SimSun">福祥</span>@<span lang="ZH-CN" style="font-family:SimSun">邓</span>.<span lang="ZH-CN" style="font-family:SimSun">中国</span></a>) what they claim gmail will support or is it just IDN email (ie
<a href="mailto:dennis@邓.中国">dennis@<span lang="ZH-CN" style="font-family:SimSun">邓</span>.<span lang="ZH-CN" style="font-family:SimSun">中国</span></a>). I recently watched a presentation in Google I/O where they also talked about IDNs in email but it was not
clear whether they will be supporting full EAI.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
