Wrong. Matchers simply bifurcate the recipient set into matching and
non-matching sets. The mailet is called to process the matching set, if it
exists.

The collection is attached to the mail object.

If the matching recipient set is not empty, the mailet is invoked to process
it.

No, if the matching and non-matching sets were both non-empty, there are two
copies of the mail object going through the spooler, one with each set.
> 4. the mailet is invoked without the collection
No, the mailet has already been invoked with the matching set.
