/**
 * This class represents a MIME style email message. It implements
 * the <code>Message</code> abstract class and the <code>MimePart</code>
 * interface. <p>
 *
 * Clients wanting to create new MIME style messages will instantiate
 * an empty MimeMessage object and then fill it with appropriate 
 * attributes and content. <p>
 * 
 * Service providers that implement MIME compliant backend stores may
 * want to subclass MimeMessage and override certain methods to provide
 * specific implementations. The simplest case is probably a provider
 * that generates a MIME style input stream and leaves the parsing of
 * the stream to this class. <p>
 *
 * MimeMessage uses the <code>InternetHeaders</code> class to parse and
 * store the top level RFC 822 headers of a message. <p>
 *
 * The <code>mail.mime.address.strict</code> session property controls
 * the parsing of address headers.  By default, strict parsing of address
 * headers is done.  If this property is set to <code>"false"</code>,
 * strict parsing is not done and many illegal addresses that sometimes
 * occur in real messages are allowed.  See the <code>InternetAddress</code>
 * class for details.
 *
 * <hr><strong>A note on RFC 822 and MIME headers</strong><p>
 *
 * RFC 822 header fields <strong>must</strong> contain only 
 * US-ASCII characters. MIME allows non ASCII characters to be present
 * in certain portions of certain headers, by encoding those characters.
 * RFC 2047 specifies the rules for doing this. The MimeUtility
 * class provided in this package can be used to to achieve this.
 * Callers of the <code>setHeader</code>, <code>addHeader</code>, and
 * <code>addHeaderLine</code> 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. <p>
