Issue Summary

The implementations of Mail#equals and Mail#hashCode are missing fields. Two instances will be considered equal despite having different values in from, to, content, etc. Having a distinct hash code is not a requirement, but could lead to poor performance in some cases.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create a first Mail instance as m1.
  2. Create a second Mail instance as 'm2' with the same subject, but different from, to, and content.
  3. Find that m1.equals(m2) is true despite differing in most set fields.

Code Snippet

final var subject = "Hello";
final var m1 = new Mail(
        new Email("[email protected]"),
        subject,
        new Email("[email protected]"),
        new Content(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN, "Foo"));
final var m2 = new Mail(
        new Email("[email protected]"),
        subject,
        new Email("[email protected]"),
        new Content(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN, "Bar"));

System.out.println(m1.equals(m2));
System.out.println(m1.hashCode());
System.out.println(m2.hashCode());

Prints

true
