public static class MimePart
extends java.lang.Object
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
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.
