Description

I already started this work creating an AbstractJamesHandler to contain common code extracted by the 4 services.

We can do much more to isolate the cornerstone/excalibur dependencies to the abstract handler and abstract service.

A further step would be to switch from "extension" to "composition" for the abstract code so we could easily plug an "handler/service" implementation not using cornerstone/excalibur.
