does IMAP provide a mechanism to signal a client's locale?
RFC rfc2060 (IMAP4rev1) does not
i know of no other relevant RFCs but i'm not an expert
it would be possible to associated preferred locale with a user
if yes, ResourceBundle provides a "reasonable easy" way to get there.
As I am sure you are away of this java feature, do you see any
downsides to this approach?
personally, no
in some ways being able to support i18n in JAMES would mean some
design changes such as supporting i18able exceptions.
