Ben Speakmon commented on EMAIL-56:
-----------------------------------

One of the MimeMessage constructors in JavaMail (both 1.3 and 1.4) already does 
this, BTW.

I'm not sure this is something that falls within commons-email's scope. The 
commons-email API, I think, is for the common cases where you just want to 
build and send an email without needing the power (or complexity) of JavaMail. 
If you're already pulling messages from an email server, I don't know why you 
wouldn't just use JavaMail for manipulating it -- the power and complexity is 
just what you need for those kinds of jobs. And it doesn't seem worth the 
trouble to duplicate any of that code in commons-email when the existing code 
works just fine.

If you can suggest a compelling use case for this, I can look further into it.
