Sorry about it. The first thing I always do when installing a mail client is to disable html-mail, but as I've been forced to change my mail client four times during last month I forgot it this time..

If I interpret the code for Document in web-cvs correctly, it is possibly to change the root with the new setRootElement. Making a deep clone of Document would also help. 

In my outdated version of JDOM changing Document root is not possible, nor there is proper clone(). However, I finally managed to make my way through the setting and switch jungle of CVS and it is now updating my source tree. 

So I'll go and use my brand new JDOM to solve the problem. And don't worry - if it doesn't work, I will certainly come back to complain. :)
