Gmail Recognizes Addresses Containing Non-Latin Characters

An anonymous reader writes In response to the creation in 2012 by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) of "a new email standard that supports addresses incorporating non-Latin and accented Latin characters", Google has now made it possible for its Gmail users to "send emails to, and receive emails from, people who have these characters in their email addresses." Their goal is to eventually allow its users to create Gmail addresses utilizing these characters.

I would imagine that there they implemented RFC6532 [ietf.org], which involves a lot more than changing a regular expression
