JavaMail 1.4.2 Final release

[Bill Shannon]

I'm happy to announce the final release of JavaMail 1.4.2!  As usual,
you'll find the release at http://java.sun.com/products/javamail.

The 1.4.2 release contains several bug fixes, performance improvements,
and enhancements, including the following significant changes:

- Improvements to InternetAddress parsing.  By setting the System
   property "mail.mime.address.strict" to "false", no addresses in mail
   messages will cause parsing errors.

- "Be liberal in what you accept."  In addition to the above, several
   other System properties can be set to allow JavaMail to accept bogus
   messages of various types.

- Significant rewrite of IMAP locking to avoid deadlocks.

- Significant rewrite of IMAP message cache to delay creating IMAPMessage
   objects until needed.  This significantly reduces memory consumption
   with very large IMAP mailboxes.

- The JavaMail DSN support now also supports parsing Message Delivery
   Notifications.

- Simplified SSL support.  It's now even easier to enable SSL
   support in JavaMail.  Instead of using the SSL protocol names,
   you can simply set the mail.<protocol>.ssl.enable property.  This
   means you don't have to remember to (for example) change the
   property "mail.smtp.host" to "mail.smtps.host", instead you can
   continue to set "mail.smtp.host" and also set "mail.smtp.ssl.enable"
   to "true" to enable use of SMTP over SSL.

- RFC 2595 server identity check.  Enable the server identity checks
   specified in RFC 2595 to prevent man in the middle attacks by setting
   the property "mail.<protocol>.ssl.checkserveridentity" to "true".

The full list of changes is in the file CHANGES.txt included in the
release zip file.

The JavaMail mail.jar file is also available in the java.net Maven
Repository (https://maven-repository.dev.java.net/) starting here:
https://maven-repository.dev.java.net/nonav/repository/javax.mail/

You'll find the source code for this version in the Mercurial repository
