As you can see by looking at <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2822> or <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5322>, RFC 2822 has been obsoleted by RFC 5322. It would probably be a good idea to update the email package to support it, if in fact anything needs changing, and to mention/link to the new RFC in the documentation. (It would probably *not* be a good idea to stop mentioning RFC 2822, though, since that's rather more well known, and the number is a bit more memorable for those who've heard of RFC 822. I'm actually a bit surprised the new one didn't get numbered 5822...)

5322 is still a draft, according to the IETF. That said, we are paying attention to 5322.

Hmm. I misread this. You are, in fact correct, but I don't think there is anything comprehensive to do here. As I make changes and have actually checked then against RFC 5322, I'm either changing or adding that RFC number to the comments and docs.
