Where I understand why it was done and why it was practical I still disagree. What if it is not a String or an InternetAddress? It will throw an exception at runtime instead of compile time. If there is a huge number of signature it probably means that something is wrong and that instead it is probably getting too much procedural instead of OO. Why not passing only Object parameters otherwise to avoid huge number of signatures? Anyway, let's not fight about it, I guess we both have our point of view ;) The API is still backward compatible that was the main concern.
