It still doesn't support International Domain Names natively. When I do:
mail address@hidden
It will fail after I finish composing the email with:
Cannot parse address address@hidden' (while expanding address@hidden'):
Malformed email address
I think in this day and age, this should be built in.
Hope this can be included soon.
