Abstract
A method is provided for transmitting an email message from a sender to a recipient, the recipient capable of receiving email messages compliant with American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII). However, one or more of the sender or other recipients have a non-ASCII email address. Accordingly, mapped ASCII email addresses are created for each of the non-ASCII email addresses. A username is generated as a mapping of the non-ASCII email address using a predefined mapping algorithm. A domain name is selected from one or more predefined domain names. The username is concatenated with the domain name to create the mapped ASCII email address. Then, the non-ASCII email address is replaced with the mapped ASCII email address and the email message is sent to the selected recipient.
