If it aint broken, don't fix it. I haven't used MIME4J myself, therefore I don't know the overhead. What I would do is: * Reinstantiate the random boundary in our code * Provide an HttpEntity around the MIME4J code (write only, no parsing) with examples ideally * Do a release What is the overhead of MIME4J for users, if 80%+ are happy with our code, why force another library on them?
