Hi Danny, > re-write Mail as "public abstract class Mail extends MimeMessage"
Yeah, how does this affect serialization and are we currently ever serializing a Mail object?

The issue for me is this: Noels idea of a meta-data dir is an idea, but what if we're using a mix of repository types, including db? Most other mail servers I've seen store meta data, often in pairs or three files. I think I'd rather see this fleshed out as a proposal first, there are too many areas of indecision appearing; and frankly the present repository system may not be great, but it has evolved to serve James' requirements. d. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
