Judging by the minimal experience I have of communicating with them they
don't give a damn about us.
When asked about the possibility of modifying MimeMessage to make it
applicable to the general case, and allow it to be specialised for each
specialisation the answer was a resounding NO, justified by the assertion
that JavaMail Is a client API. In spite of it flying in the face of good
OOD and being little more than a nasty hack which lets them do a tiny bit
less work but compells James to use up clock cycles for no good reason.
Yuk.
