/**
* The MimePart interface models an Entity as defined
* by MIME (RFC2045, Section 2.4).
*
* MimePart extends the Part interface to add additional RFC822 and MIME
* specific semantics and attributes. It provides the base interface for
* the MimeMessage and MimeBodyPart classes
*
*
A note on RFC822 and MIME headers
*
* RFC822 and MIME header fields must contain only
* US-ASCII characters. If a header contains non US-ASCII characters,
* it must be encoded as per the rules in RFC 2047. The MimeUtility
* class provided in this package can be used to to achieve this.
* Callers of the setHeader, addHeader, and
* addHeaderLine methods are responsible for enforcing
* the MIME requirements for the specified headers. In addition, these
* header fields must be folded (wrapped) before being sent if they
* exceed the line length limitation for the transport (1000 bytes for
* SMTP). Received headers may have been folded. The application is
* responsible for folding and unfolding headers as appropriate.
