i am going to start a complete reimplementation of my providers as well,
and take them from hobbyist code into something much more robust.

i have done about a 3rd of the internet package as well, it's coming on
and hopefully it will be in a committable state by midweek.

in the mail package already committed, there are 4 classes which have
TODO comments about synchronous/asynchronous event propagation. if you
could have a look at this whole issue (i know you and joey were working
on an asynchrous mechanism, presumably much like sun's), and let me know
what you think about it (what the dependencies and issues surrounding it
might be), this would be enormously helpful. my main concern is that in
certain environments (notably applets) you may not have the create thread
privilege, so synchronous should really be chosen unless there is a
compelling reason not to - can you think of one?
