I came across the same problem when trying to implement POP3 version
of the Message.
For now I relied on the Sun impl of the MimeMessage and it did have
problems of parsing the headers properly especially the InternetAddress.
So is Rick going to work on this and have our own MimeMessage impl ???
We're going to be relying on our own implementation of all of the
javamail classes. Unfortunately, as I discovered, the Geronimo version
is not complete yet. I'm working on completing the implementation of
InternetAddress, plus some changes in Transport. If you know what needs
to be fixed in MimeMessage, you ahead and begin work on that.
If so then I can simply extend and do the POP3 stuff with it. But I am
willing to help to since it's just not nice to sit back and let Rick
do the dirty work.
So Rick if you can tell me when I can chip in then we can finish it
quickly and then I can finish with the POP3 as well.

I was dead serious :)
Right now, it appears that we have more people working on JavaMail
implementation than Sun does. Granted, theirs is complete, but still.
This is an area where it would be nice to see an OSS community
working,
and it's darn useful software as well.
*If* Sun's bug is something people depend on, then we wouldn't want to
make our software unusable by them - we'd also be letting them know
their apps aren't RFC compliant, and they'd have the option to fix at
their choosing.
