This policy setting allows you to manage whether Internet Explorer uses 8-bit Unicode Transformation Format (UTF-8) for mailto links. If you enable this policy setting Internet Explorer encodes mailto links in UTF-8. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting Internet Explorer sends mailto links encoded through the user’s code page. This behavior matches the behavior of Internet Explorer 6 and earlier. The user can change this behavior on the Internet Explorer Tools menu: Click Internet Options click the Advanced tab and then under International select the “Use UTF-8 for mailto links” check box.

This policy setting determines whether Internet Explorer uses 8-bit Unicode Transformation Format (UTF-8) to encode query strings in URLs before sending them to servers or to proxy servers. If you enable this policy setting you must specify when to use UTF-8 to encode query strings: 0) Never encode query strings. 1) Only encode query strings for URLs that aren’t in the Intranet zone. 2) Only encode query strings for URLs that are in the Intranet zone. 3) Always encode query strings. If you disable or don’t configure this policy setting users can turn this behavior on or off using Internet Explorer Advanced Options settings. The default is to encode all query strings in UTF-8.

This policy setting allows you to manage whether Internet Explorer converts Unicode domain names to internationalized domain name (IDN) format (Punycode) before sending them to Domain Name System (DNS) servers or to proxy servers. If you enable this policy setting you must specify when IDN server names should be sent: 0) Unicode domain names are never converted to IDN format. 1) Unicode domain names are converted to IDN format only for addresses that are not in the Intranet zone. 2) Unicode domain names are converted to IDN format only for addresses that are in the Intranet zone. 3) Unicode domain names are always converted to IDN format. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting the user can control this setting by using Advanced Options in Internet Control Panel. By default domain names are converted to IDN format only for addresses that are not in the Intranet zone.
