The issue here is the way the patch has been implemented.
I'd be happier to see this implemented as a fix to HtmlEmail, rather
than a new class

See above.

Unfortunately your patch does more than fix 38538. It adds new
functionality as well, and this makes it hard to apply. e.g. there is
code there to set the Mail Session from JNDI, which is a nice to have
feature and means we now need to include the jndi dependency. It would
be nicer to split these into separate enhancement requests as well as
the bug fix.

Sounds reasonable. Fixed.

Looks reasonable. Will apply and test. Done.

it also includes the TLS authentication helpers. I'm committing this one as:
a) The TLS helpers are useful
b) jndi is in jdk1.3 and above

Looks like it needs some testing.

> [36844] Includes patches I did not test
Introduces a dependency on commons-lang, something I'd rather not do.

That one needs some more working out by the looks.
