Thanks, Bill. I don't normally follow the intricacies of JavaMail, so I
appreciate the pointers to quickly catch up.

The motivation for the update was to add @Repeatable to the
@MailSession annotation.
I also have a handful of small updates that I've been working on.
The details are here:
https://java.net/projects/javamail/sources/mercurial/content/doc/spec/JavaMail-1.6-changes.txt
There may be more, depending on how much time I have, but the above are
already done and available in a SNAPSHOT release.
This will all appear as a JCP Maintenance Release at the appropriate time.
