Build ID: 20150630154324

Steps to reproduce:

Create contact in address book. In field "Display" on "Contact" tab, enter non-ascii character(s) like "ßäöü". Click on write in address book or compose a new e-mail to this recipient.


Actual results:

When trying to send the message, I get this error: "There are non-ASCII characters in the local part of the recipient address".


Expected results:

The message should have been sent without any problems. This was never a problem before I upgraded to v 38. The non-ASCII-characters should only be used internally by TB in the "Display" field of the address book and should not cause any problems when sending as they aren't even part of the actual e-mail address.
