//+ Name DwMessage -- Class representing an RFC-822/MIME message
//+ Description
//. {\tt DwMessage} represents an RFC-822/MIME {\it message}.
//.
//. A {\it message} contains both a collection of {\it header fields} and
//. a {\it body}. In the terminology of RFC-2045, the general term for the
//. headers-body combination is {\it entity}. In MIME++, {\tt DwMessage}
//. is a direct subclass of {\tt DwEntity}, and therefore contains both
//. a {\tt DwHeaders} object and a {\tt DwBody} object.
//.
//. In the tree (broken-down) representation of message, a {\tt DwMessage}
//. object is almost always a root node, having child nodes but no parent node.
//. The child nodes are the {\tt DwHeaders} object and the {\tt DwBody} object
//. it contains. A {\tt DwMessage} may sometimes be an intermediate node. In
//. this special case, the parent node is a {\tt DwBody} object of type
//. "message/*" and the {\tt DwMessage} object represents an encapsulated
//. message.
//.
//. To access the contained {\tt DwHeaders} object, use the inherited member
//. function {\tt DwEntity::Headers()}. To access the contained {\tt DwBody}
//. object, use the inherited member function {\tt DwEntity::Body()}.

DwMessage(const DwString& aStr, DwMessageComponent* aParent=0);
//. The first constructor is the default constructor, which sets the
//. {\tt DwMessage} object's string representation to the empty string
//. and sets its parent to {\tt NULL}.
//.
//. The second constructor is the copy constructor, which performs
//. a deep copy of {\tt aMessage}.
//. The parent of the new {\tt DwMessage} object is set to {\tt NULL}.
//.
//. The third constructor copies {\tt aStr} to the {\tt DwMessage}
//. object's string representation and sets {\tt aParent} as its parent.
//. The virtual member function {\tt Parse()} should be called immediately
//. after this constructor in order to parse the string representation.

//. the user-supplied function pointed to by {\tt sNewMessage},
//. which is assumed to return an object from a class derived from
//. {\tt DwMessage}, and return that object.
