[rt-users] RT3.8 upgrade: forcing ascii email addresses?

[Mathieu Longtin]

Looking at the RT3.8 mysql upgrade script, I found out that most email
address fields are set to be ASCII characters only:

 

ALTER TABLE Users MODIFY EmailAddress VARBINARY(120) NULL DEFAULT NULL;

ALTER TABLE Users MODIFY EmailAddress VARCHAR(120) CHARACTER SET ascii
NULL DEFAULT NULL;

 

This strike me as odd, since email address can contain international
characters, AFAIK. Correct me if I'm wrong.
