according to the definition or descripiton of RFC 2822 below 

"     Some characters are reserved for special interpretation, such as
   delimiting lexical tokens.  To permit use of these characters as
   uninterpreted data, a quoting mechanism is provided.  A quoted-string is treated as a unit.  That is, quoted-string is  identical to atom, semantically.  "

I suggest that we still allow UTF-8 in quoted-string (ASCII is also a kind of UTF-8) so that Some characters are reserved for special interpretation .

any comments?
