Martijn Brinkers commented on JAMES-474:
----------------------------------------

Should'nt access to some (or all?) variables  like modified, bodyModified etc. 
be synchronized? 

The method:

public synchronized void setDataHandler(DataHandler arg0) throws 
MessagingException 

changes modified and bodyModified and it's synchonized but all other access to 
modified and bodyModified is not synchronized. The constructor for example 
checks bodyModified but access to bodyModified is not synchronized. A context 
switch can occur in setDataHandler just before bodyModified is set to true 
which results in an 'out-of-sync' between what the constructor 'sees' and what 
setDataHandler 'sees'.

A related question. Why are all variables protected and not private using 
getters/setters? Having them private with getters/setters would make it easier 
to add thread safety.
