Research direction

Search the Gradle build files (e.g. build.gradle and any version catalogs) for org.bouncycastle:bcmail-jdk18on and remove the dependency declaration. First verify nothing imports bcmail classes (org.bouncycastle.mail) with a quick code search. Then build and run the test suite to confirm nothing breaks; done means the dependency is gone and the build stays green.
