/**
 * 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.
