[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-416?page=all ] Stefano Bagnara reopened JAMES-416: -----------------------------------
I'm reopening this because we should downgrade to 1.3.2 before an official release. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Well good questions, I read your entry on the upgrade, wher you state: "Probably only performance improvement on base64 encoding/decoding. Most of the other changes are around IMAP (client) and we don't use it. " So our main reason is the performance improvement in base64 handling, and this is exactly what seams broken. So I suggest reverting to JavaMail 1.3.2 until a bugfix-release from Sun is available. --Søren On Thursday 08 September 2005 11:25, Stefano Bagnara wrote: > > Just saw this on the BouncyCastle mailinglist, as we provide mailets > > using BouncyCastle we should perhaps revise upgrading to JavaMail > > 1.3.3. > > > > --Søren > > Hi Søren, > > Thank you for pointing this out.
