Close.  I discussed with Alejandro yesterday:

we need a MailSession interface for that.  mail session would look something like this

interface MailSession {
  |   Mail createMail();
  | }
  | 
  | interface Mail {
  |   Mail setTo(String to);
  |   Mail setCC(String cc);
  |   Mail setBCC(String bcc);
  |   Mail setSubject(String subject);
  |   Mail setBody(String subject);
  |   Mail addAttachment(String name, InputStream attachment, String mimeType);
  |   
  |   void send(boolean sendAsync);
  | }

we thought it was easiest to develop something like the interface shown above.

Activies can get a MailSession from the current environment.  But we don't need 2 different implementations.  

Clients of this code (Activities) would need to determine if sending needs to be done asynchronous or not.  this should eventually be based on a global process engine configuration that specifies the default and jpdl attributes that allow to overwrite this default.

Does this match with your expectations, Brad ?
