Right, there's no javamail shipped with kaffe. That's what we're trying
to fix.

Yes, with a bug fix or two. My memory is that classpathx JAF was almost
flawless.

Apparently you missed them. Please see the classpathx javamail mail
archives from September 2003.

Did you actually just say that we have to call the lgpl license the "GNU
lgpl"? I must have misunderstood. ;)

BTW, their license was changed to the much more restrictive
GPL-with-exception. Tiger JMail uses the lgpl.

Arnaud, if you really need to continue this, please take it off the kaffe
list.
