I don't fully understand the conditional acceptance.  Can't @psawant19 abandon the alias PR and use the existing ISO-8859-8 source from OpenJDK to create new ISO-8859-8-I Charset? The level off effort to share common code, proxy wrap, or so forth between two Charsets wouldn't be that much of a lift or long term debt.  If the community is willing to to the work then acceptance is really a willingness to approve the change.  Are all housed OpenJDK solutions around this a no?

>Naoto pointed out, utilize the CharsetProvider would seem like appropriate solutions to me. 

That has been the solution suggested for years.  They have been documented JavaMail/JakartaMail FAQ.  I copied them into the ticket here:
https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/angus-mail/issues/147#issuecomment-2354433380

I'll leave that AngusMail ticket open until this comes to a close.
