\class BTextMailComponent
\ingroup mail
\brief A component that stores plain text.
It uses UTF8 text as its canonical format and reads and writes
<a href="https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2047.txt">RFC-2047</a> style text. As such,
it handles accents and other 8 bit characters with ease. If you want to
send text, this is the way to go.

/*!
\fn BTextMailComponent::BTextMailComponent(const char *text = NULL,
uint32 defaultCharSet = B_MAIL_NULL_CONVERSION)
\brief Initializes the component and sets its content to \a text.
\a text can be \c NULL. The argument is a UTF-8 null-terminated string.
Encoding defaults to quoted_printable with the ISO-15 charset.

\fn void BTextMailComponent::SetEncoding(mail_encoding encoding,
int32 charset)
\brief Sets the \a encoding and \a charset used by Render().
Use the conversion constants from UTF8.h for \a charset. We strongly
reccomend that you always use the defaults (and strongly recommend
against using base64) for the reasons outlined in RFC 2047.

\fn BString* BTextMailComponent::BStringText()
\brief Returns the internal UTF8 format BString used by this component.
As such, you can do raw text operations on the content of the message.
The use of this function is not reccomended.

/*!
\fn void BTextMailComponent::Quote(const char *message = NULL,
const char *quote_style = "> ")
\brief Quotes the contents of this component.
Inserts \a quote_style at the start of every line, and prefaces the content
with \a message, if it is not \c NULL. \a message should be something like
<code>"On September 30, 2001, John Smith said:"</code>, or something in that vein.
Note that the new line after \a message is supplied for you, so you do not
need to add it.

\fn virtual status_t BTextMailComponent::SetToRFC822(BPositionIO *data,

\brief Sets this object from a component in RFC-822 format.
Initializes this component to the RFC 822 format data in \a data,
starting at <code>data->Position()</code>, for up to \a length bytes.
Handles encoded data according to RFC 2047.
If \a parse_now is \c false, then the \a data will not be parsed
until RenderToRFC822 is called.

/*!
\fn virtual status_t BTextMailComponent::RenderToRFC822(BPositionIO* render_to)
\brief Renders the component into RFC-822 format.
It places the result in data, starting at data->Position().
Encodes and translates charsets according to the arguments passed to
SetEncoding(), or the defaults set in BTextMailComponent::BTextMailComponent()
otherwise.
