Include route-addr support for RFC 822 and 1123

[jrchamp]

Test valid addresses that use:

• the mailbox format from RFC 822: phrase route-addr
• the mailbox format from RFC 1123 (phrase optional): [phrase] route-addr

Hopefully the automated tests will show whether we're correctly supporting the RFC addresses in the mailbox route-addr format.

Hi @jrchamp it looks like we are not, as stated in the readme: supported RFCs are 5321, 5322, 6530, 6531, 6532.

Are you suggesting/asking to add support for this format?

[jrchamp]

Sorry, I did not see that RFC 822 had been obsoleted by RFC 2822, which has been further obsoleted by RFC 5322, which you do support. From RFC 5322:

• address is either a mailbox or a group
• mailbox is either addr-spec or name-addr
• name-addr is an optional display-name followed by an angle-addr
• angle-addr is roughly the equivalent of the the older route-addr, surrounding the addr-spec in angle brackets

If the goal of EmailValidator is to validate address or mailbox as specified in RFC 5322, then yes, I am asking for support for the name-addr syntax in addition to the existing addr-spec syntax. If the goal is instead to only validate the addr-spec syntax, then it would be helpful to clarify that in the documentation.

Thank you for your quick and helpful response!

Hi @jrchamp , it took me some more this time. Added your request as issue #195 Thanks for the clear documentation.
