> The javamail Transport and Store classes define listener events that are supposed to be broadcast for different events.  These MailEvents are intended to be broadcast on a separate thread so that the event handlers need not worry about how long it takes to process one ot these events.  The current EventQueue implementation just iterates on the listener list, immediately calling the event listeners.  This can hang up the main mail process, and it can also cause unexpected errors as runtime errors will get propagated through the main thread dispatching the event.
