My name has an accented character in it. It also begins with a lower case letter. Zoho's sign up form force-capitalised the name and also told me to 'only use letters and underscores' when I entered my name. I should make clear this was when trying to fill in my real name on the sign-up form, not the email username [I know they can't have accented chars]

Similarly with Runbox. It allowed me to enter my name properly when signing up. But in the name part of the 'from' field of the test emails I sent, it replaced the accented character with a � as in my email 'from' line rendered as F�rstname Lastname <username@runbox.com> ---like something from the 1980s!
