Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

As I understand the mime spec allows only "7bit", "8bit", or "binary" for the body of a "message/rfc822" entity

However, it looks like Outlook is generating these under some circumstances (I have supplied a sample below). When attempting to read these via the JavaMail API the message content is empty and instead ends up in the header fields.

Is there a workaround or setting to handle these base64 RFC822 attachments in JavaMail?

Here's a stripped down sample of the message with the RFC822 attachment that I'm trying to handle:
...
MIME-Version: 1.0
X-Mailer: Microsoft Office Outlook 12.0
...
Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=00235400e66249e8d9047d9b2ab3
