Description

Currently the code for writing a message is scattered around various classes, Entity, Header and Multipart.

A dedicated MessageWriter class has several advantages. It concentrates the code in one place, separates the concern of writing a message from the message and allows for additional strategies for writing a message to be implemented without having to touch the message classes.
