What is the correct way to read a MIME encoded stream?

Question

I have a TCP socket with streaming MIME messages on it. I can use the JavaMail API to parse a single MIME message at the same time by searching for the border, then searching for the + border character.

This is like a lot of string manipulation. Someone out there should correctly translate MIME coding in Java. Where is he hiding?

Take a look at this library:
