> MailAddress address parsing claims to be RFC 821 compliant but fails in various ways. I added a bunch of test cases to the unit tests, and fixed several that failed.
> On a related note, perhaps it's time to move it to RFC 5321 compliance (not entirely cross-compatible with 821, but it obsoletes it and is the current standard, and incompatibilities are generally in obscure syntax constructs which are never used in practice anyway). I was thinking of a complete rewrite, seeing that the current implementation is buggy, over-complex and inefficient (e.g. using lots of StringBuffers which are not needed, having an unnecessary field which is used only during construction, etc.)
