/**
 * This class models an email message. This is an abstract class.  
 * Subclasses provide actual implementations. 

* * Message implements the Part interface. Message contains a set of * attributes and a "content". Messages within a folder also have a * set of flags that describe its state within the folder.

* * Message defines some new attributes in addition to those defined * in the Part interface. These attributes specify meta-data * for the message - i.e., addressing and descriptive information about * the message.

* * Message objects are obtained either from a Folder or by constructing * a new Message object of the appropriate subclass. Messages that have * been received are normally retrieved from a folder named "INBOX".

* * A Message object obtained from a folder is just a lightweight * reference to the actual message. The Message is 'lazily' filled * up (on demand) when each item is requested from the message. Note * that certain folder implementations may return Message objects that * are pre-filled with certain user-specified items. * To send a message, an appropriate subclass of Message (e.g., * MimeMessage) is instantiated, the attributes and content are * filled in, and the message is sent using the Transport.send * method.
