[Aperture-devel] DataObjectFactory confusing email addresses

[Christiaan F. <chr...@ad...>]

I am having an issue with the following known bug in DataObjectFactory 
(quoting the Javadoc):

"The DataObjectFactory constructs person URIs that begin with the 
emailperson: prefix and have the person name in them. This means that if 
the sender and the receiver have the same name, but different addresses, 
they will be mapped to the same resource with two different addresses. 
In this way we lose information about which address was the sending 
address and which address was the receiving address."

My issue is that my app is showing overviews of the addresses used in 
the From, Sender, To, Cc and Bcc headers and these lists now contain a 
lot of bogus information, e.g. some of the addresses in the Cc list are 
actually only used in To headers.

Any reason why we can't use a UUID as emailperson URI? Or a combination 
of name and email address (keep the metadata more human-readable)?


Regards,

Chris
