Research direction

Start by reading RFC 6530, RFC 6531, RFC 6532, and RFC 6533, which are the only implementation references named in the issue. Map the required internationalized email behavior to Thunderbird for Android's existing mail handling before proposing a scope. Done should include an agreed definition of support and tests covering that defined scope.
