public abstract class Multipart
extends java.lang.Object
Multipart also acts as the base class for the content object returned by most Multipart DataContentHandlers. For example, invoking getContent() on a DataHandler whose source is a "multipart/signed" data source may return an appropriate subclass of Multipart.
Some messaging systems provide different subtypes of Multiparts. For example, MIME specifies a set of subtypes that include "alternative", "mixed", "related", "parallel", "signed", etc.
Multipart is an abstract class. Subclasses provide actual implementations.

protected Multipart()
protected void setMultipartDataSource(MultipartDataSource mp) throws MessagingException
The method adds the MultipartDataSource's BodyPart objects into this Multipart. This Multipart's contentType is set to that of the MultipartDataSource.
This method is typically used in those cases where one has a multipart data source that has already been pre-parsed into the individual body parts (for example, an IMAP datasource), but needs to create an appropriate Multipart subclass that represents a specific multipart subtype.
