What is MailFactory for?
Hi,
MailFactory is part of the MailetContext but what is it for? It seems
to me it could be achieved by the implementation of Mail. I am looking
for a convenient place to utility code that would produce a reply to a
message and am currently torn between these options:
public Mail MailFactoryImpl.createReply(Mail mail)
or
public Mail MailImpl.createReply(Mail mail)

Yes sorry to all for the confusion I had realised I had pulled
MailFactory out of the mailet-refactorings area but failed to reply to
my own message.

I think MailFactory is something you found in danny's
"mailet-refactorings" sandbox.
ATM it is a "solo" project by Danny where he is preparing a proposal,
and here is the description of the sandbox:
--------------
mailet-refactorings
Goal: code first formulation of proposals for next version of Mailet API
Status: active
Owner: danny
Update: 03-11-1006 API refactorings of interfaces from james to mailet
are 90% complete. Refactor service location function to JNDI is 10% complete
---------------
Are you working there too? If so, you should keep it in touch with Danny.
Otherwise there is no MailFactory concept in current Apache Mailet and
current Apache JAMES Server code.
