Right now, control characters are allowed in the following:

- Domain literals on the right hand side of addresses

Well that's certainly one place they could and should go.

- Quoted strings (which can be on the left hand size of addresses as 
well as lots of other structured header fields)

And they are not really very clever there, given that allows them in
local-parts, which are a part of the addressing process.

- Comments (which can appear in lots of structured header fields 
including address fields)
- Unstructured text (in fields and in the body)

But I don't care much either way about those two.
