face facts: JAMES trunk is never going to be released - there just isn't enough agreement within the developers. so we should aim to factor out and release what we can agree on. it's easy to have releases provided that the code released is in the form of libraries of reasonable size > Releases should be the goal, and in the last year we only had 2 jSPF > releases and nothing else :-(( if you want more releases, step forward > Is IMAP-mailbox a standalone library?

IMHO it is against the least surprise principle. just saves moving stuff down a level. also server/server doesn't make much sense to me - robert --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
