Yes, there seems to be a lot of cases cropping up where what is really needed is a mailet that delegates work off to an external process. This pattern is much more flexible than embedding everything in James. Perhaps an AbstractDelegatingMailet could be written to inspire people to go in that direction, though off-hand I can't think what extra functionality it would provide that org.apache.mailet.GenericMailet doesn't! -- Steve --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
