> 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.)
