Jochen Wiedmann updated MIME4J-30:
----------------------------------

    Attachment: mime4j-transfer-encoding.patch

Proposed patch with a slightly different solution: Introduces a new method

    getInputStream(boolean pTransferDecoding)

with getInputStream() being implemented as getInputStream(true). This has the 
advantage, that it can be used case by case. Additionally, the interface is 
polluted with only one additional method, as opposed to a getter and a setter.

> Currently the mime4j user must be aware of the transfer-encoding header.
> a) This is inconvenient. I can think of no reason, why a user should want the 
> encoded data stream.
> b) This blocks MIME4J-27 in the following sense: If a user configures a limit 
> on the attachments size,
>      then this should most possibly limit the decoded attachments size. But 
> Mime4j can only track
>      the decoded attachments size, if it is itself responsible for decoding.
