-<strong>Q:</strong> What are the security implications of using Jakarta Mail in an applet?
-</A>
-<BR>
-<strong>A:</strong> One of the biggest
-issues with using Jakarta Mail in applets is the default applet security
-restrictions.  These restrictions only allow applets to connect to the
-host from which they were loaded.  Thus, for such applets to use Jakarta Mail,
-the mail server will need to be located on the same machine as the web
-server from which the applet is loaded.  You can find more information
