Of course i created a valid mail-object, firsty; e.g.:

$mail_params["sendmail_path"] = "path/to/sendmail/";
$mail =& Mail::factory("sendmail", $mail_params);

After hours, I've found a solution for my Problem. If you
use quotemarks for the personal-part of an e-mail the RFC
822-Test will pass.

e.g use:
"Bau =?UTF-8?Q?Dr=C3=B6mling?= e.G" - Hauptsitz
<name@example.de>
instead of:
Bau =?UTF-8?Q?Dr=C3=B6mling?= e.G - Hauptsitz
<name@example.de>

By The Way the RFC 822-Test shouldn't fail if you don't
use quotemarks. And the Mail-package should send such an
Mail.

And good work with the resolved fatal error-bug.

I have the same problem with Horde 3.0.3 and IMP 4.0.2.

If I have some non-ascii characters in the name of the identity (ie. sàrl which is pretty common since it's gmbh), then the message cannot be sent using UTF-8 encoding.

I either have to switch to ISO8859-15 or change the name of the sender.

I just stumbled over the same bug - recipient addresses containing special (non-ascii) characters in encoded form are only accepted if all double quotes are stripped from the address...
