exactly :-) mailet authors should be able to rely on a stable set of basic exterior service APIs. breaking into finely grained components is great but it creates a lot of interior interfaces to allow implementations to be extended. it isn't clear which APIs are intended for mailet and protocol developers, and which are interior APIs aimed at extenders of a particular backend implementation. - robert --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
