    Description

    In contrast to ZF1, ZF2 unnecessarily encodes headers even if they contain only ASCII characters. Demo:

    $mail = new Zend\Mail\Message(); $mail->setEncoding('UTF-8'); $mail->setFrom('example@example.org', 'My Name'); echo $mail->toString();

    Result:

    From: =?UTF-8?Q?My=20Name?= example@example.org

    Expected result:

    From: My Name example@example.org

    I think the method Zend\Mime\Mime::isPrintable can be used to determine if a header has to be encoded.

    As workaround you can do one of the following options:

    
$mail->headers()->get('From')->setEncoding('ASCII');

$mail->headers()->setEncoding('ASCII');

$mail->getHeader('From', null)->setEncoding('ASCII');

    I've just downloaded ZF2 Beta 5. Even the "Date" header is encoded. Maybe some classes like Zend\Mail\Header\Date should just ignore calls of their "setEncoding" method?
