Thanks for finding this. I have a more severe mime rewrite that I'm doing which uses a fork of MIME4J (they have a kinda dumb handling for mail bodies that I made pluggable among other minor things). I don't know what real advantage we would get by backing the messagedata object with a mail object. Essentailly messagedata is a parsed/persisted mail object.
