How about:

      Note that under this definition, it is not possible to tell
      from an ASCII address if the owner of that address is an
      i18mail user or not.  (A non-ASCII address implies a belief
      that the owner of that address is an i18mail user.)

This incorporates John's change ("a belief") as well as your desire 
to tighten the link between the address and the owner.
