This is just a guess, but I seem to remember thinking that MailetException
was thrown by the container on catching an exception raised in, or
propogated by, a mailet or matcher, whereas messaging exception is raised
by failure to handle a message.
On the other hand it makes sense that mailets throw only new
MailetExceptions but can propogate MessagingExceptions raised in JavaMail.
Because you can then distinguish between mailet problems and java mail
related ones.
I'd support a refactoring to only use one of them, or one that used both
but made MailetException extend Exception not MessagingException, on the
basis that MailetException isn't usefully a specialisation of
MessagingException, and MessagingException is regarded (by me at least) as
"JavaMail exception".
