/**
* Clients use a FetchProfile to list the Message attributes that
* it wishes to prefetch from the server for a range of messages.
*
* Messages obtained from a Folder are light-weight objects that
* typically start off as empty references to the actual messages.
* Such a Message object is filled in "on-demand" when the appropriate
* get*() methods are invoked on that particular Message. Certain
* server-based message access protocols (Ex: IMAP) allow batch
* fetching of message attributes for a range of messages in a single
* request. Clients that want to use message attributes for a range of
* Messages (Example: to display the top-level headers in a headerlist)
* might want to use the optimization provided by such servers. The
* FetchProfile allows the client to indicate this desire
* to the server.
*
* Note that implementations are not obligated to support
* FetchProfiles, since there might be cases where the backend service
* does not allow easy, efficient fetching of such profiles.
*
* Sample code that illustrates the use of a FetchProfile is given
* below:
*
*
*
* Message[] msgs = folder.getMessages();
*
* FetchProfile fp = new FetchProfile();
* fp.add(FetchProfile.Item.ENVELOPE);
* fp.add("X-mailer");
* folder.fetch(msgs, fp);
*
