Brian,
unless you need to modify the message sent to the "new recipient list" to make it
different from the one sent to the "original recipient list", you can simply
manipulate the original mail's recipient list, adding the new MailAddress-es and
removing the ones you need, and let the original mail go on *without* having to create
a new Mail and send it through MailetContext etc.
This is the code in LinearProcessor that invokes a mailet:
...
mailet.service(mail);
// Make sure all the recipients are still MailAddress objects
verifyMailAddresses(mail.getRecipients());
...
