ContentHandler should rely on MimeStreamParser.setContentDecoding instead of 
dealing with their own transfer decoding code.

                 Key: MIME4J-154
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MIME4J-154
             Project: JAMES Mime4j
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 0.6
            Reporter: Stefano Bagnara
            Assignee: Stefano Bagnara
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 0.8


Both MessageBuilder and SimpleContentHandler have special code to recognize the 
transfer-encoding and decode the inputstream using the Base64InputStream or the 
QuotedPrintableInputStream. This is a worse practice as MimeStreamParser now 
have the setContentDecoding, so the caller should simply set that property to 
true and the content handler will receive decoded streams.

We should "hide" the common task behind a single entry point. The fewer classes 
we ask to use to our downstream users, the easier will be to track 
compatibility, upgrading, and so on. If to use mime4j in basic ways people have 
to create classes from all of our packages then it will be a PITA.
