In the case of SMTPDataInputStream, we would not want to call close(), which
is why no one does. :-)

You would override read(byte[], int, int) to implement the required
behavior. That is easy enough, and FilterInputStream.read(byte[]) is fine.
Perhaps FilterInputStream.read(byte[], int, int) should have been left
unchanged to call the core read() method, and required a specialized class
to call the delegated stream if desired, but that would not have been
consistent. One would have to ask Sun what they were thinking.
