For a while, I was stunned wondering how "_" would be affected by NFKC.

Now, Email is not really part of the work, i suppose it is related and
it may be important think _think_ about it, altho we may not do anything
about it.

Anyway, RFC822 is already I18N been able to handle Subject: header with
MIME RFC2048. So handling To: and From: is just an additional overhead.

The main problem is SMTP RFC821.
