This is a vote for a combined release of javamail spec and the javamail provider (+ the uber jar). The provider changes have depedencies on the spec changes, so these need to be released at the same time. Geronimo will need the updated uber jar for the 2.1.2 release.

The components up for release are

geronimo-javamail_1.4_spec-1.4
geronimo-javamail_1.4-1.5
geronimo-javamail_1.4_provider-1.5
geronimo-javamail_1.4_mail-1.5    (uber jar containing spec+providers)

This release contains a number of bug fixes uncovered by building/running Apache James using the Geronimo javamail version. With this release, James can be built and deployed using either the Sun version or the Geronimo version.

In addition to the James fixes, several enhancements have been added:

Sun javamail 1.4.1 compatibility:
Added support for mail.<protocol>.ssl.protocols and mail.<protocol>.ssl.ciphersuites properties.
  MimeMessage.reply() now sets the In-Reply-To and References headers

Added SSL support to the NTTP Transport and Store.
