Body
MimePart requires that I pass it a type of resource as part of the object construct.

In my scenario I have just generated a PDF which I want to attach to an e-mail. Using MimePart I have to first write that PDF to disk, get a resource for it, pass that to MimePart which will then read it back from disk again.

This is wasteful IO. I should be able to pass MimePart a string and encoding type directly.

You can create in-memory resources...

MimePart already does what I want it to internally, just not as an option during construct. Even if I construct an in-memory resource I am still having to modify memory and waste resources doing so.
