Vincenzo,
Please re-send again, but this time put your code into a TAR, JAR or ZIP. I
don't know why the .java files aren't coming through.

"Snippet.java" contains a java code snippet invoking the "encodeBytes"
method in the "Base64" class, contained in the "Base64.java" file. I found
the latter somewhere on the web, thanks to it's author.
I had to put in the code snippet some "magic" to deal with non significant
zeroes and truncate to 20 characters (to be consistent with james), but that
may be a need of my implementation.
I did not use the base-64 code used in james (it probably would have been
more straightforward), as my code runs completely outside of James.
Bye,
Vincenzo
