There is no question that the James code surrounding MimeMessage, including
MimMessageWrapper and the repositories can be significantly improved. Feel
free to submit patches. Please test first.

To leave it as a stream would requiring leaving the JDBC connection live
until the stream would be closed. I don't disagree with the possibility,
but we do need to make sure that we are well behaved with respect to the
database server.
The dbfile protocol gets around all of this by storing the Mail instance and
message headers in the database, and the message body in the file system.
