I not necessarily disagree with this, but I never found a real technical
motivation for this. Can you list yours?
here are some off the top of my head:
1 a number of methods in MimeMessage return may bad data values rather
than throwing exceptions
2 MimeMessage does not play well with nio
3 the automatic type conversions are unhelpful
4 automatic encoding conversions are unhelpful
5 MimeMessage has a tendency to thrown unhelpful runtime exceptions
(i came up against more difficulties when trying to implement
OpenPGP/MIME but i can't recall then in detail right now)
