NNTP Transport provider does not correctly store message identifiers
--------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: GERONIMO-4252
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-4252
             Project: Geronimo
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: public (Regular issues)
          Components: mail
            Reporter: David Graff
            Priority: Minor


While working with a client program I used the 1.6-SNAPSHOT (built locally) and 
noticed a problem where the message ID was not correctly identified to the NNTP 
server I was communicating with.

When recieved in the message processor, the < and > are stripped off and the 
"meat" of the id are stored.  When performing a "STAT" call, the < and > are 
not restored resulting in a news server error.

Referencing the NTTP RFC 3977 (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3977) Section 3.6 
it states the following regarding message IDs
{quote}
   Each article MUST have a unique message-id; two articles offered by
   an NNTP server MUST NOT have the same message-id.  For the purposes
   of this specification, message-ids are opaque strings that MUST meet
   the following requirements:

   o  A message-id MUST begin with "<", end with ">", and MUST NOT
      contain the latter except at the end.

   o  A message-id MUST be between 3 and 250 octets in length.

   o  A message-id MUST NOT contain octets other than printable US-ASCII
      characters.
{quote}

As this states, the < and > are required.  There are  two ways this can be 
accomplished, 1, store the message ID with the < and > in NNTPGroupFolder or 
change all calls using the message ID to encapsulate with < and >.
