[DOCS] Mail example

This is my first post, so please don't flame me if I do it wrong.

I just finished coding an ANT mail target... and in so doing noticed an error in the documentation example that caused me and extra 5 hrs headache.

it says that <to... should be:

	<to name="all@xyz.com">
	when in fact this causes an email to be sent to a null address.

the correct rendering would be

	<to name="xyz list" address="all@xyz.com">


I found that a better method altogether is to use the mail attribute "tolist" even if only for a single recipient.

How do I go about formally submitting a revised version of "mail.html" to the codebase?

why, thank you for your correction.

We list the process for changes in

http://jakarta.apache.org/site/getinvolved.html

and in

http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/ant_task_guidelines.html

for documentation, we just need a 'cvs diff -u' generated diff file of your
corrected file against the copy on the CVS server, sent as email or (better)
a bugzilla bug report.
