Description

Recently I needed to send an email to "info@gül.co.at" and failed with

org.apache.commons.mail.EmailException: javax.mail.internet.AddressException: Domain contains control or whitespace in string ``info@gül.co.at''

	at org.apache.commons.mail.Email.createInternetAddress(Email.java:1941)
	at org.apache.commons.mail.Email.setFrom(Email.java:749)
	at org.apache.commons.mail.Email.setFrom(Email.java:732)
	at org.apache.commons.mail.Email.setFrom(Email.java:712)

The problem is that I would need to escape the german special characters in the domain name part and I suggest to move that into commons-email
