One useful piece of info about using mail.jar as a Nutch plugin:
If mail.jar is installed as a plugin, then the META-INF/mailcap file may not be
found from mail.jar.
javax.activation.MailcapCommandMap searches mailcap from a number of places, but
it will call SecuritySupport.getContextClassLoader() to load mailcap from
'resources'. This returns Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader() to get
the classloader, which is not the PluginClassLoader, so does not find it.

Argh, sorry for the noise! After lots of digging, I found that my
plugin classes were also in my app jar file, so it was loaded by the
parent class loader, not the plugin class loader.
