OK.  I managed to get CXF to use the geronimo specs versions of annotation, 
servlet, mail, and activation.    I had some problems with Mail.   The 
Geronimo Specs version is definitely not a 100% drop in replacement for Sun's 
1.4 versions.   The InternetHeaders object from Sun is much more tolerant 
of "out of spec" streams (example: unix EOL style) than Geronimo.   We had a 
couple tests that failed, but it's because of bad test data.   As soon as I 
did a unix2dos on the test data, the tests passed.

Anyway, I'm committing the changes to CXF now.

The issue is actually the reverse.   The spec says the lines should be CR/LF 
terminated.   If something sends something that is only LF terminated, Sun's 
implementation will parse it fine.   Geronimo's won't.  Thus, you need to 
find implementations that DON'T put the CR(^M)'s.   

That said, some of our own code in the Attachment processing doesn't 
work "correctly" if it's not CR/LF.   It just didn't cause a test failure.   
There's at least one place where we "break" on CR, then just blindly 
ins.read() the next char assuming it's the LF.   (FYI: that's exactly how the 
Geronimo specs version of mail does it as well)  I think Sun's impl must 
ignore the CR (skip over it) and breaks on the LF (or breaks on the LF 
and "trim()"s the result).

Any one know if any implementations send ^M in attachment headers? I could
see this causing issues if so.
