RemarksA MIME entity is really just a node in a tree structure of MIME parts in a MIME message.
There are 3 basic types of entities: MimePart, Multipart, and MessagePart (which is actually just a special variation of MimePart who's content is another MIME message/document). All other types are derivatives of one of those.
