Summary: factor out SMTPHandler.emit date handling

Initial Comment:
Change SMTPHandler.emit to use email.Utils.formatdate
for date formatting.  This changes the format from

    Wdy, DD Mon YYYY HH:MM:SS GMT

to

    Wdy, DD Mon YYYY HH:MM:SS (+/-)DDDD

which is the preferred format for email messages
according to RFC 2822.  This format is also accepted by
the obsolete RFCs 822 and 1123, so there should be no
compatibility problems.
