Question on mailetprocessor - returning the mail to the root

["USHAKOV, Sergey" <s....@chemitech.ru>]

Hi all,

I am now examining the sources for standard mailets, and my eye was caught 
by the observation that even in simple cases with minor changes to the Mail 
object (say, like in UseHeaderRecipients), in case we wish the mail to be 
re-injected into the spool, it is implemented by injecting a new copy of the 
Mail object (getMailetContext().sendMail(...)) with the original mail object 
being discarded (mail.setState(Mail.GHOST)).

Is there any reason for doing the job this way instead of just changing the 
mail state to "root"? What might be the harm if going the latter way?

Thanks and best regards,
Sergey
