By the way, if anyone wonders about Processors and Mailets, and why it is
often confusing in some cases as to why they are different, look at the

it
shouldn't be surprising at all, in retrospect.
What is confusing is why Processors are not still instances of Mailet ..
why did we remove the flexibility that that would have offered, namely the
ability to nest certain Mailets?
My only guess is because the way configuration is based doesn't make 
much sense.  I /believe/ we had a hierarchical configuration element, 
but then moved to a flattened one.  Just guessing.
