public intsize()
Count the total number of elements in a MessageSet

	return end - start + 1;
public static intsize(com.sun.mail.imap.protocol.MessageSet[] msgsets)

	int count = 0;

	if (msgsets == null) // Null msgset
	    return 0; 

	for (int i=0; i < msgsets.length; i++)
	    count += msgsets[i].size();
	
	return count;
public static java.lang.StringtoString(com.sun.mail.imap.protocol.MessageSet[] msgsets)
Convert an array of MessageSets into an IMAP sequence range

	if (msgsets == null || msgsets.length == 0) // Empty msgset
	    return null; 

	int i = 0;  // msgset index
	StringBuffer s = new StringBuffer();
	int size = msgsets.length;

	    end = msgsets[i].end;

	    if (end > start)
		s.append(start).append(':").append(end);
	    else // end == start means only one element
		s.append(start);
	
	    i++; // Next MessageSet
	    if (i >= size) // No more MessageSets
		break;
