[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-642?page=comments#action_12438859 ] Joachim Draeger commented on JAMES-642: ---------------------------------------
I like Postel's Law (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Postel). Of course such workarounds should not pollute the whole code base. So I think you're right and we shouldn't not run and doing quick fixes to satisfy. Another requirement for including such things should be a good automatic test coverage. But if there is a way for a clean integration and it's configurable, why not?
