Robert Burrell Donkin commented on MIME4J-30:
---------------------------------------------

Cursor allowed buffering to be managed in the io layer. Pushing buffering into 
MimeTokenStream means that the io layer can no longer transparently support 
this. ByteArrayFetcher uses a byte array. This means that nio buffered 
implementations are going to be forced to double buffer. ByteArrayFetcher also 
has a number of methods which would be unnecessary if a bytebuffer were used 
instead.

> Transfer-encoding should be transparent

> Currently the mime4j user must be aware of the transfer-encoding header.
> a) This is inconvenient. I can think of no reason, why a user should want the 
> encoded data stream.
> b) This blocks MIME4J-27 in the following sense: If a user configures a limit 
> on the attachments size,
>      then this should most possibly limit the decoded attachments size. But 
> Mime4j can only track
>      the decoded attachments size, if it is itself responsible for decoding.
