Uh, no, those aren't valid email address according to any standard.  You
cannot have 8bit characters to the left of the @ in the email address. 
The same really goes for the same on the right hand side of the @, but
some people have difficulties distinguishing between the _actual_ email
address and it may be rendered when the domain part is converted from
punycode.  

The actual email address might be alfons.aaberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

which mail-agents with IDN support should display and accept like this:

alfons.aaberg@ënidan.ch
