Class MimeHeaders


public class MimeHeaders
extends Object

A container for MimeHeader objects, which represent the MIME headers present in a MIME part of a message.

This class is used primarily when an application wants to retrieve specific attachments based on certain MIME headers and values. This class will most likely be used by implementations of AttachmentPart and other MIME dependent parts of the SAAJ API.
