> The MimeMessage class has a private method getHeaderAsAddresses() that calls a package scope method in the InternetHeaders class.  Because this private message bypasses the public MimeMessage methods for retrieving headers, it is impossible for MimeMessage subclasses such as POP3Message and NNTPMessage to implement lazy loading of the headers from the server.  This can result in null values getting returned from methods such as getFrom(), because the message does not have any headers loaded from the server source.
