/***
* This class is used to construct a bare minimum
* acceptable header for an email message. 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 mail sending
* process, by relieving the programmer from having to explicitly format
* a simple message header. For example:
*
* writer = client.sendMessageData();
* if(writer == null) // failure
* return false;
* header =
* new SimpleSMTPHeader("foobar@foo.com", "foo@bar.com" "Just testing");
* header.addCC("bar@foo.com");
* header.addHeaderField("Organization", "Foobar, Inc.");
* writer.write(header.toString());
* writer.write("This is just a test");
* writer.close();
* if(!client.completePendingCommand()) // failure
* return false;
