This is solved by OSI with the X.500 directory services in a very elegant
way. Unfortunately, most people don't know about it and still worry
about ugly mail adresses. With the information provided in my
 .signature, you should be able to enter something like

M Kuhn, Uni Erlangen, DE or
Markus Kuhn, Computer Science, Universitaet Erlangen-Nuernberg, Germany

or something else and after a few seconds your mailer should know
everything about my mailer (e.g. address, document types allowed, ...).
E.g. test the de DUA that comes with ISODE.
