Description

Axiom MIME parser does the content-id validation for the MIME parts as required by MTOM & SwA..Also the Attachments API is designed as a map (content-id, attachment) with this assumption..

But now the mail transport is going to use the same MIME parser and they have valid messages which does not have content-id's for MIME parts. But IMHO trying to generalize all axiom/Axis2 attachment API's would be a too much of an API change at this point of the project...

Attached is a quick patch to generate a UUID in place of the missing content-id... But with this we are going to miss the content-id validation...

WDYT?
