isEmail accepts Umlauts and other non-ASCII characters

           Summary: isEmail accepts Umlauts and other non-ASCII characters
           Product: Commons
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal

According to the RFC specification, an atom of an email address is any ASCII character from 0 to 
127. The isEmail method accepts any Unicode character (0-65535), resulting in emails with 
Umlauts being accepted.

isEmail("K�nig@domain.com") returns true. It should 
not.

The regular expressions should be changed to except only ASCII 0-127 atoms.
