While RFC2822 indicates that lines must be wrapped at 998 characters, it 
suggests that the MIME RFCs should not be ignored, "As was stated 
earlier, there are other standards documents, specifically the MIME 
documents [RFC2045, RFC2046, RFC2048, RFC2049] that extend this standard 
to allow for different sorts of message bodies." RFC 2049 states "line 
wrapping or line truncation imposed by mail transports is STRONGLY 
DISCOURAGED, but unavoidable in some cases."

Attached is patch that removes line wrapping in the bodies of mime parts 
by eliminating the use of RFC2822OutputStream in MimeBodyPart and 
MimeMessage. Also attached is a JUnit test case for this behavior. This 
patch fixes test failures found when testing JOnAS with the classpathx 
Javamail implementation. Further testing is on going with results 
available on Monday.
