With mailet chaining, I don't think James should assume the mail
does not need further processing. It is really up to the site
installer and the various mailets installed at the time. I did
not see what the result of the 'state' work was, but my
concern also applies to that as well--i guess we just have to
be explicit as to the meanings and consequences of setting the
state to TERMINATED, ERROR, DONE, or whatever so users know
when the mail gets kicked out of the pipeline.

Yes I'm about about 25% Italian, but it's the best 25%!
