When I invoke Seam E-mail functionality from an Iceface page containing menu Items to the child level (to any level) causes the following exception:

Error send mail

When I remove the child Items (the page still contains other iceFaces tags), the issue leads me staright to issue # JBSEAM-827.

Hence I am not able to use Seam E-mail with ICEFaces together.

Things I used:
============
mail Template (same as it is in Seam Examples):
<m:message xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
           xmlns:m="http://jboss.com/products/seam/mail"
           xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html">
    
          <m:from name="Peter" address="peter at example.com" />
          <m:to name="#{person.firstname} #{person.lastname}">#{person.address}</m:to>
          <m:subject>Try out Seam!</m:subject>
          <m:body>
              <p><h:outputText value="Dear #{person.firstname}" />,</p>
        <p>You can try out Seam by visiting <a href="http://labs.jboss.com/jbossseam">http://labs.jboss.com/jbossseam</a>.</p>
        <p>Regards</p>
        <p>Peter</p>
    </m:body>
</m:message>



menu Items:
=============
<ice:form id="menu" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
    xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
    xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
    xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
    xmlns:s="http://jboss.com/products/seam/taglib"
    xmlns:ice="http://www.icesoft.com/icefaces/component">
   <ice:panelGroup id="menupanel" styleClass="formBorderHighlight">
	    <ice:menuBar id="menubar" orientation="horizontal">  
			<ice:menuItem value="Parent 1">
				<ice:menuItem value="Child 1" /> 
			</ice:menuItem>  
		</ice:menuBar>
	</ice:panelGroup>
</ice:form>
