    Description

      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("König@domain.com") returns true. It should
      not.

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