I was thinking of 2 parts
- MailRepository would store the logical parts of the message separatly
- Extra method in the MailImpl to retrieve the logical parts, header, body
attachment etc.
A Mail Repository that stores (a)originnal Mime message, (b)parts of the
message
and (c) a descriptor that allows one to lookup parts would fit the bill
nicely.
For example if a web application wants 'helloworld.txt' attachment from
message 'm-1', it would be nice if the code can go to MailImpl, ask for
attachment 'm-1', read and stream it, without ever parsing the message file.
