Description

The commons-email-1.0 release API has a critical flaw: you can't specify char-
set for individual addresses. This is the case with some Japanese mail systems.

Currently, org.apache.commons.mail.Email class only has methods like

addXXXX(String email, String name);

but no such methods:

addXXX(String email, String name, String charset);

In addition, I believe the API should allow

addXXX(javax.mail.internt.InternetAddress);

If you want to hide InternetAddress, I don't mind to even have a addXXX(Object).

Thanks,

Would you like to submit a patch and a unit test? Basically, what this allows you to do is send a single
email to multiple recipients, and each recipient gets their own charset for their email?

I've submitted a patch for this issue in EMAIL-54.
