/**
 * The MimePart interface models an <strong>Entity</strong> 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> <strong>A note on RFC822 and MIME headers</strong><p>
 *
 * RFC822 and MIME header fields <strong>must</strong> 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. <p>
