Danny,
[switching mailing lists]
I agree that it isn't a high priority. And an alternative would be for the
Mail object passed into the mailet to delegate the state change call to the
context, so that we close the window without changing the mailet code. The
object would just be a further specialized MailImpl.

Apart from this instance I've never heard a demand for such strict control,
so I don't generally think it would be worthwhile.
Making the call to change the status actually carry out the writes might be
worth considering, perhaps it should be a method called on the context like
container.setState(this, mail.GHOST) as I think we both agree that the
de-coupling opens a "window of opportunity", to quote a popular military
phrase.
