Well good questions, I read your entry on the upgrade, wher you state: "Probably only performance improvement on base64 encoding/decoding. Most of the other changes are around IMAP (client) and we don't use it. "
So our main reason is the performance improvement in base64 handling, and this is exactly what seams broken. So I suggest reverting to JavaMail 1.3.2 until a bugfix-release from Sun is available. --Søren On Thursday 08 September 2005 11:25, Stefano Bagnara wrote: > > Just saw this on the BouncyCastle mailinglist, as we provide > > mailets using BouncyCastle we should perhaps revise upgrading > > to JavaMail 1.3.3. > > > > --Søren > > Hi Søren, > > Thank you for pointing this out.
