You would use +12345678901234@localhost, I guess, where the @e164.arpa
part could be supplied by the MUA.  (Of course, e164.arpa should have
a "MX ." RR.)

If you opt for a purely MUA-based approach, you can never-ever put
E.164 addresses in the message header.  ENUM email addresses would
remain second-class citizens, just like internationalized domain names
implemented with IDNA.
