[Springframework-developer] Re: common super-interface in mail functionality

I've been trying to post this all day, but I think the issue was it didn't like my ZIP attachment. I agree with David that a higher-level abstraction over the JavaMail API might be appropriate. I think the existing MimeMessageHelper etc. is rooughly equivalent to the JdbcTemplate, and we're missing the equivalent higher-level abstractions similar to MappingSqlQuery, etc. I actually wrote a higher-level abstraction layer like this over Spring's API. The source is available at the URL below. The company I work for is a strong supporter of open source, and would be happy to donate this code to Spring. I personally would also be happy to "Spring-ify" the code to add comments, licensing, etc. Of course a committer could then go through and clean it up further. http://www.crystalcognition.com/sgarlatm/email.zip Matt Juergen Hoeller wrote: > Thanks for the suggestion, David.
