I've been wondering about Mail attributes, and how they would impact
repositories.

I thought that we should limit attributes to being Strings, is there any
_real_ need to do more?
[replying on dev as well]

I'd like to. It's been a while since I thought through some examples on the mail attributes... simplest example is someone having a custom bean they want stored, or maybe a timestamp, a vector/array. Sure in most cases a String could handle these if you require the developer to do the translation/serialization.

Put another way, is there a reason to limit attributes to Strings? It seems we're either storing a Properties object or serialization a Map. So, we either have a large text or large binary field we need to add.
