For instance, an argument which is first should be first in all cases (unless arguments are shifted right). If we dropped down to a one-arg version of from(), then e-mail would shift from the second to the first argument. Thus, reversing the order is more consistent. ...in this case, it might be irrelevant if we instead have these signatures: from(String... address); from(InternetAddress... address); from(Collection<String> addresses); from(Collection<InternetAddress> addresses); We just don't support the two-argument form. Btw, InternetAddress can parse an address with a personal part: from("John Smith <john.smith(a)acme.com&gt;&quot;) -Dan -- Dan Allen Principal Software Engineer, Red Hat | Author of Seam in Action Registered Linux User #231597 http://www.google.com/profiles/dan.j.allen#about http://mojavelinux.com http://mojavelinux.com/seaminaction
