> Key: MAILET-9

> Affects Versions: 2.4
> Reporter: Robert Burrell Donkin
> Fix For: 3.0
>
>
> MailAddress represents an internet mail address. It is a concrete class
> including good, standards compliant code for parsing addresses. The strength
> of this design is that it enforces standards. This is also the weakness of
> the design. Occasionally, a looser algorithm capable of dealing with
> non-RFC822 mail would be preferable.
> Consider factoring as a logical interface (implemented as either an empty
> abstract class - my preference - or an Interface) capable of alternative
> implementations. The current class would become StandardMailAddress. Consider
> adding a marker flag for those addresses which are not RFC822 compliant.
