I guess the reason for this is that this isn't just notifying a particular address... it's something dynamic. True, with half a brain I could have written this into one mailet, but I often code without that much.
A centralized notifier could ideally... 1. configure notify the address of... a) the sender, b) the postmaster, or c) whatever email address you wanted and 2. configure the sender of the notification to... a) <> (nobody and unbounceable), b) the postmaster, c) recipient, or d) the sender (?) and 3. configure if/how to deal with the message contents a) leave untouched (so like a forward) b) comments w/message body inline c) comments w/message body inline and message headers d) comments w/message as an attachment rfc??? (whatever you were talking about) e) comments w/no message and 4. extendible so you could override a method to programmatically set the included comments for a given message. That'd be quite nice in my mind... probably other nice features you could add as well, but there's a preliminary spec for you. :) Serge Knystautas Loki Technologies - Unstoppable Websites http://www.lokitech.com/ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Danny Angus" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, October 16, 2001 4:59 PM Subject: RE: Another question.. > I thought so, it just seems that we're tending towards loads of single > function mailets with similar functions. > the two notify's being a case in point, there are only a handfull of > differences and only one of these makes a functional difference.. > > 130 recipients.add(mail.getSender()); > 129 recipients.add(getMailetContext().getPostmaster()); > > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Serge Knystautas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > Sent: Tuesday, October 16, 2001 8:59 PM > > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Subject: Re: Another question.. > > > > > > I think complexity should only be limited by the contributors time and > > ability to document a mailet's features. :) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
