Replaced text looks a lot better, I am a little bit concerned that
the relation between "an ASCII address" and "an sender / recipient"
is looser than I want it be. /* As a non-native, I feel always
nervous when word-smithing */
Can we me make the relation clearer if we changed it a little bit?
For instance;
Note that under this definition, it is not possible to tell
whether an email sender or recipient is an i18mail user or not
if his/her address is an ASCII address.
How about:
Note that under this definition, it is not possible to tell
from an ASCII address if the owner of that address is an
i18mail user or not. (A non-ASCII address implies a belief
that the owner of that address is an i18mail user.)
This incorporates John's change ("a belief") as well as your desire
to tighten the link between the address and the owner.
