> Consider this code fragment to build a multipart message:
>         Header header = new Header();
>         header.addField(Field.parse("Content-Type",
>                 "multipart/mixed;\r\n\tboundary=\""
>                         + MimeUtil.createUniqueBoundary() + "\""));
>         Multipart multipart = new Multipart("mixed");
>         Message message = new Message();
>         message.setHeader(header);
>         message.setBody(multipart);
> Aside from the problem that the subtype "mixed" has to be specified twice this is just overly long and error-prone. Instead a convenience method setMultipart could be added to Entity that sets the message body and also sets the content-type header field accordingly. The code fragment could be rewritten as:
>         Multipart multipart = new Multipart("mixed");
>         Message message = new Message();
>         message.setMultipart(multipart);
> Similar convenience methods can be added for text/* and message/rfc822 bodies.
