Oleg Kalnichevski commented on MIME4J-238:
------------------------------------------

Howard,
Is it really good idea to push weirdness from some application into what is 
meant to be a generic, general purpose library? Even if your application uses 
some custom content type, why is it such a problem to make that custom type to 
use 'multipart' mime type?

{noformat}
Content-Type: multipart/x-my-weird-application; 
boundary="Part_8_5123801.1399049231138"
{noformat}

or 

{noformat}
Content-Type: x-multipart/my-weird-application; 
boundary="Part_8_5123801.1399049231138"
{noformat}

> Add custom mimetype with multipart support is basically not only mime type 
> that start with "multipart/" signaling multipart. Of course, the Content-Type 
> would still have "boundary" parameter. For example:
> {code}
> Content-Type: x-my-weird-application; boundary="Part_8_5123801.1399049231138"
> {code}
> You do this check in MimeUtil.isMultipart method.
> Is it possible to pass an interface MultipartChecker to through MimeConfig to 
> MimeEntity so that in the following method so that we use it instead of 
> MimeUtil
> {code}
>     public EntityStateMachine advance() throws IOException, MimeException {
>       ...
>       case T_END_HEADER:
>         ...
>             } else if (MimeUtil.isMultipart(mimeType)) {
>                 state = EntityState.T_START_MULTIPART;
>                 clearMimePartStream();
>             }
>        ...
>   }
> {code}
