387903 - When writing to an IDN adresses the accents are not punycoded !

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 127399

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[P. Andries]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; fr; rv:1.8.1.4) Gecko/20070515 Firefox/2.0.0.4
Build Identifier: version 2.0.0.4 (20070604)

When writing to 

patrick@lumière101.com

Thunderbird 2 does not punycode the domain name (IDN) before sending the message (well, it may have an option but I could not find it and it should do this properly by default).

In other words, instead of sending the message to "[e-mail]", it sends it to the invalid address"[e-mail]" (the character > 0x7F was dropped)...

BTW, after this failed a first time, I did set in about:config of Thunderbird "network.enableIDN" to "true" and added "network.IDN.whitelist.com" and set it to "true". Although, I'm not sure this had any effect.

Sample returned message :

Could not deliver message to the following recipient(s):

Failed Recipient: [e-mail]
Reason: Failed four attempts to connect to the recipients mail server.  No DNS information was found for the 'lumire101.com' domain.

   -- The header and top 20 lines of the message follows --

Nope, it's not implemented yet.
