i've been reworking https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-808 to
factor out an interface for content which exposes the size and allows
the content to be written. there are quite a number of different bits
of content which would benefit from the size+write approach and so
IMHO an extra interface will help to keep the API consider and
readable
hope to commit a version today. i'd be grateful if people would take a
look at the commit diffs and either patch any design improvements they
can see or reply to list

/**
* IMAP needs to know the size of the content before it starts to
write it out.
* This interface allows direct writing whilst exposing total size.
*/
public interface Content {
/**
* Writes content into the given buffer.
* @param buffer <code>StringBuffer</code>, not null
* @throws MessagingException
*/
public void write(StringBuffer buffer) throws MessagingException;
/**
* Size (in octets) of the content.
* @return number of octets to be written
* @throws MessagingException
*/
public long size() throws MessagingException;
}
