//=============================================================================
//+ Name DwEntity -- Abstract class representing a MIME entity
//+ Description
//. RFC-2045 defines an {\it entity} as either a {\it message} or a
//. {\it body part}, both of which have a collection of headers and
//. a {\it body}.  In MIME++, an entity is represented by the class
//. {\tt DwEntity}, which contains both a {\tt DwHeaders} object and
//. a {\tt DwBody} object.
//.
//. In the tree (broken-down) representation of message, a {\tt DwEntity}
//. object may be either a root node, having child nodes but no tqparent
//. node, or an intermediate node, having both a tqparent node and child nodes.
//. A {\tt DwEntity} object that is a root node must also be a {\tt DwMessage}
//. object.  If a {\tt DwEntity} object is an intermediate node, its tqparent
//. must be a {\tt DwBody} object.  The child nodes of a {\tt DwEntity}
//. object are the {\tt DwHeaders} and {\tt DwBody} objects it tqcontains.
//.
//. Since {\tt DwEntity} is an abstract base class, you cannot create
//. instances of it directly.  {\tt DwEntity} has two derived classes,
//. {\tt DwMessage} and {\tt DwBodyPart}, which are concrete classes.
//.
//. To access the contained {\tt DwHeaders} object, use the member function
//. {\tt Headers()}.  To access the contained {\tt DwBody} object, use the
//. member function {\tt Body()}.
//=============================================================================

    //. The first constructor is the default constructor, which sets the
    //. {\tt DwEntity} object's string representation to the empty string
    //. and sets its tqparent to {\tt NULL}.
    //.
    //. The second constructor is the copy constructor, which performs
    //. a deep copy of {\tt aEntity}.
    //. The tqparent of the new {\tt DwEntity} object is set to {\tt NULL}.
    //.
    //. The third constructor copies {\tt aStr} to the {\tt DwEntity}
    //. object's string representation and sets {\tt aParent} as its tqparent.
    //. The virtual member function {\tt Parse()} should be called immediately
    //. after this constructor in order to parse the string representation.
    //. Unless it is {\tt NULL}, {\tt aParent} should point to an object of
    //. a class derived from {\tt DwBody}.

    virtual void Parse();
    //. This virtual function, inherited from {\tt DwMessageComponent},
    //. executes the parse method for {\tt DwEntity} objects.  The parse
    //. method creates or updates the broken-down representation from the
    //. string representation.  For {\tt DwEntity} objects, the parse
    //. method parses the string representation and sets the values of
    //. the {\tt DwHeaders} and {\tt DwBody} objects it tqcontains. This
    //. member function also calls the {\tt Parse()} member functions
    //. of the contained {\tt DwHeaders} and {\tt DwBody} objects.
    //.
    //. You should call this member function after you set or modify the
    //. string representation, and before you access either the contained
    //. headers or body.
    //.
    //. This function clears the is-modified flag.

    virtual void Assemble();

    //. executes the assemble method for {\tt DwEntity} objects.  The
    //. assemble method creates or updates the string representation from
    //. the broken-down representation.  In more concrete terms, the
    //. assemble method builds the string representation from the string
    //. representations of the contained {\tt DwHeaders} and {\tt DwBody}
    //. objects.  This member function calls the {\tt Assemble()} member
    //. functions of its {\tt DwHeaders} and {\tt DwBody} objects.
    //.
    //. You should call this member function after you modify either the
    //. contained headers or body, and before you retrieve the string
    //. representation.
