NPE when parsing embedded quoted printable encoded message

             Fix For: 0.4


When trying to parse a message which contains an embedded quoted printable 
message I received a NullPointerException:

I've figured out that it is the following code in MimeEntity which passes the 
null stream when creating the QuotedPrintableInputStream:

    private EntityStateMachine nextMessage() {
        String transferEncoding = body.getTransferEncoding();
        InputStream instream;
        if (MimeUtil.isBase64Encoding(transferEncoding)) {
            log.debug("base64 encoded message/rfc822 detected");
            instream = new Base64InputStream(mimeStream);                    
        } else if (MimeUtil.isQuotedPrintableEncoded(transferEncoding)) {
            log.debug("quoted-printable encoded message/rfc822 detected");
            instream = new QuotedPrintableInputStream(mimeStream);              
      
        } else {
            instream = dataStream;
        }

mimeStream seems to be null in this situation. I've tried to use dataStream 
instead of mimeStream. This seems to work better but when I do that I get an 
infinite loop when trying to parse an embedded multipart message which has =3D 
in its boundary. I'll attach such a message.
