@naotoj The origin comes from an old JavaMail ticket that Bill Shannon was working on.  The link is here: https://github.com/jakartaee/mail-api/issues/302

I'm picking up where Bill left off and @psawant19 is just addressing the matching jdk bug.  I can add the mappings to JakaraMail but Bill wanted the evaluation of root issue in the JDK before doing that. The history is in the linked ticket.
