The pos variable in the Serializable MailAddress should be transient

           Summary: The pos variable in the Serializable MailAddress should
                    be transient
           Product: James
           Version: 2.0a3
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: MailStore & MailRepository
        AssignedTo: james-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: farsight@alum.mit.edu


MailAddress stores the pos variable - a position variable used in parsing the 
input string in one of the constructors - when serialized.  This variable is 
meaningless outside of this constructor and methods called by the constructor 
and thus should not be stored when the instance is serialized.  This could be 
accomplished by declaring the variable transient or (preferably) by 
refactoring the class to reduce the scope of the variable.
