javax.mail.internet.MimeMessage use of private methods short circuits lazy 
loading by MimeMessage subclasses.

         Key: GERONIMO-1708
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-1708
     Project: Geronimo
        Type: Bug
    Versions: 1.2    
    Reporter: Rick McGuire
 Attachments: GERONIMO-1708.patch

The MimeMessage class has a private method getHeaderAsAddresses() that calls a 
package scope method in the InternetHeaders class.  Because this private 
message bypasses the public MimeMessage methods for retrieving headers, it is 
impossible for MimeMessage subclasses such as POP3Message and NNTPMessage to 
implement lazy loading of the headers from the server.  This can result in null 
values getting returned from methods such as getFrom(), because the message 
does not have any headers loaded from the server source.
