I must have missed the question on the mailet-dev mailing list, so just will reply here. The challenge I had was javax.mail.InternetAddress does not require valid email addresses... no hostnames, not much of anything. MailAddress was supposed to then be a strict version of the same thing. Because javax.mail.InternetAddress was already not an interface and I couldn't hope to dual purpose, we were stuck with a less than perfect way to handle this. I didn't grok the need for a non-strict MailAddress, but if that's a requirement, sounds like you've got a reasonable approach. I would like to keep (make?) it easy to switch between mailet's MailAddress and javamail's InternetAddress, but that's probably just a small component of a javamail replacement discussion. -- Serge Knystautas Lokitech >> software . strategy . design >> http://www.lokitech.com p. 301.656.5501 e.
