Description

The following code generates a java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException
exception: -

MailAddress mailAddr = new MailAddress("A@B.");

The exception is as follows: -

Jul 05 16:59:59 2001: java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index
out of range: 4
Jul 05 16:59:59 2001: at java.lang.String.charAt(String.java:503)
Jul 05 16:59:59 2001: at org.apache.mailet.MailAddress.<init>
(MailAddress.java:102)

I can only generate this error if the last character is a fullstop.
