I'm out of town this week, but feel free to release without me if you feel up 
to it.

Why avoid returning boolean flags? They are as much part of the Java API as 
anything else? I whish I had my usuall mail application, I'd search and review 
the discussion. Can you post briefly why [lang] decided this? I'm not 
convinced yet that its a necessity, the API can be changed in future versions.
