Robert Burrell Donkin commented on MIME4J-77:
---------------------------------------------

Markus - Mime4j is a IO library. One fault shared by many early attempts at 
java libraries was a proliferation of meaningless top level exceptions. The top 
level API of an IO library should throw IOExceptions.

Oleg - I'm happy to follow the strategy you outline. I think that there are 
some corner cases where it might be difficult to distinguish between the cases 
(recoverable and not) but I don't think this should be a major worry.

Commiting this patch is fine by me.
