We will keep the 1.24 branch for bug fixing. Do you really have a problem with gpgme 2.0? Ist that due to factoring out the c++ and qt bindings? That was actually a long standing request from the KDE community so that they can use their cmake stuff.

I updated the version database. We now have entries for "gpg4win", "gpd", and "vsd"

I see, I had rfc2440 in mind which says:

By convention, it includes  an RFC 822 mail name, but there are no restrictions on its content.

thus 4880 refined it a bit. But in practice it is not the same because it is utf8 and not punycode or whatever. let's close this bug because they way it is used will work with all mail clients.

Let's have a look at the spec (rfc2822 3.4):

address         =       mailbox / group

We should also add a check that INDATALEN is > 15 to make the function robust against bad args.

We do this now also for gpg-wks-server. Further gpg-wks-client now sends the current language to the server so that the server can get back to the user with a proper translated text (if configured).
