Problem

Arrays in Go are mutable. This method currently replaces all values passed to SetHeader by their encoded version.

This can be problematic in a scenario that the array passed to SetHeader is reused somewhere else in the code.

Ex :

rcptTo := []string{"[email protected], "bob@example.com"}

message := gomail.NewMessage()
message.SetHeader("To", rcptTo)
// ...
var buffer bytes.Buffer
message.WriteTo(&buffer)

mail.SendMail("myhost.com:25", nil, "[email protected]", rcptTo, buffer.Bytes())

In the above example, the recipients passed to SendMail will be encoded and result in a 501 5.1.3 Bad recipient address syntax from any postfix server.

In my opinion, the expected behaviour of SetHeader is not to mutate the values passed as arguments.

Solution

The proposed change creates a new array of string of the same length as the header values passed in and fill it with the encoded values, therefore not touching the raw ones.

Not clear why CI is failing for Go 1.2, could it be that gimme stopped supporting 1.2 ?

@ivy you seem to be the "most recent" contributor (i know it's been a while). Can you take a look at this PR?
