i beg your pardon, i thought you had changed the superclass from 
Multipart to Application. a quick check of the cvs logs and i note you 
didn't commit anything. my bad. copying and pasting is the work of the 
devil.

> I think you mean to say that Application has no purpose.

it's the base class for application/* content-type handlers including 
ApplicationOctetStream and anything else we add later.

the changes to the Multipart* classes and RFC2822OutputStream have now 
been committed to savannah cvs. thank you very much.
