I prefer the empty constructor. Can you make an example of the 
constructors taking only JavaPrimitive types and their purpose?

May? I don't understand this...

What are you trying to achieve with this?
What are the "Mailet interfaces"?

Ok, I'm fine with this workflow: I just preferred to tell you asap if I 
have doubts/questions.

Thank you,

Let me get back to you on this as I fill the page out some more and have 
played with my code some more.  (meaning I'm not ignoring you...just 
replying later)

I'd like to get the ideas more into a runnable form, fill out the page 
from there and then we can poke holes in it together that way. 

Thanks,

Andy
