  - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### MimePartDataSource

          public MimePartDataSource(MimePart part)

      Constructor, that constructs a DataSource from a MimePart.

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### getInputStream

          public InputStream getInputStream()
                                     throws IOException

      Returns an input stream from this MimePart.

      This method applies the appropriate transfer-decoding, based on the Content-Transfer-Encoding attribute of this MimePart. Thus the returned input stream is a decoded stream of bytes.

      This implementation obtains the raw content from the Part using the `getContentStream()` method and decodes it using the `MimeUtility.decode()` method.

      Specified by:
        `getInputStream` in interface `DataSource`
      Returns:
        decoded input stream
      Throws:
        `IOException`
      See Also:
        `MimeMessage.getContentStream()`, `MimeBodyPart.getContentStream()`, `MimeUtility.decode(java.io.InputStream, java.lang.String)`

    - #### getOutputStream

          public OutputStream getOutputStream()
                                       throws IOException

      DataSource method to return an output stream.

      This implementation throws the UnknownServiceException.

      Specified by:
        `getOutputStream` in interface `DataSource`
      Throws:
        `IOException`

    - #### getContentType

          public String getContentType()

      Returns the content-type of this DataSource.

      This implementation just invokes the `getContentType` method on the MimePart.

      Specified by:
        `getContentType` in interface `DataSource`

    - #### getName

          public String getName()

      DataSource method to return a name.

      This implementation just returns an empty string.

      Specified by:
        `getName` in interface `DataSource`

    - #### getMessageContext

          public MessageContext getMessageContext()

      Return the `MessageContext` for the current part.
      Specified by:
        `getMessageContext` in interface `MessageAware`
