/**
 * The MimePart interface models an Entity as defined by MIME
 * (RFC2045, Section 2.4).
 * <p>
 * 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
 * <hr>
 * A note on RFC822 and MIME headers
 * <p>
 * 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 <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.
