Create e-mail attachment using an OutputStream
----------------------------------------------

                 Key: EMAIL-67
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/EMAIL-67
             Project: Commons Email
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Charl Gerber
            Priority: Minor


I'm using POI to create .xls files in memory that I want to send as e-mail 
attachments. I now have to first save the created POI workbooks, then attach 
the files to the e-mail and then have a mechanism to clean up the temporary 
files after the mail was sent. The POI HSSFWorkbook has a method:

write(java.io.OutputStream stream) 

If this operation could write directly into the e-mail attachment, it would 
increase performance and require a lot less overhead to manage the temporary 
files.

I am sure there are plenty other examples of attachments being created as files 
in memory that could be sent directly without having to create it as an actual 
file first.
