/***
 * This class is used to construct the bare minimum
 * acceptable header for most news readers.  To construct more
 * complicated headers you should refer to RFC 822.  When the
 * Java Mail API is finalized, you will be
 * able to use it to compose fully compliant Internet text messages.
 * 

 * The main purpose of the class is to faciliatate the article posting
 * process, by relieving the programmer from having to explicitly format
 * an article header.  For example:
 * 
 * writer = client.postArticle();
 * if(writer == null) // failure
 *   return false;
 * header = new SimpleNNTPHeader("foobar@foo.com", "Just testing");
 * header.addNewsgroup("alt.test");
 * header.addHeaderField("Organization", "Foobar, Inc.");
 * writer.write(header.toString());
 * writer.write("This is just a test");
 * writer.close();
 * if(!client.completePendingCommand()) // failure
 *   return false;
 * 
 *
