	Hi;

	Ah, I didnt read that close enough.
	In that case, just put a file in /etc/env.d, such as
66java-mail

consisting of:

CLASSPATH="/path/to/java/mail.jar"

env-update seems to be smart enough to graft it together with
other classpaths and puts the result in /etc/profile.env, which
is sourced by /etc/profile.
	I dont know if there is any convention on what sort
of number you should choose-- I believe it determines order
of processing.
