/**
 * Clients use a FetchProfile to list the Message attributes that 
 * it wishes to prefetch from the server for a range of messages.<p>
 *
 * Messages obtained from a Folder are light-weight objects that 
 * typically start off as empty references to the actual messages.
 * Such a Message object is filled in "on-demand" when the appropriate 
 * get*() methods are invoked on that particular Message. Certain
 * server-based message access protocols (Ex: IMAP) allow batch
 * fetching of message attributes for a range of messages in a single
 * request. Clients that want to use message attributes for a range of
 * Messages (Example: to display the top-level headers in a headerlist)
 * might want to use the optimization provided by such servers. The
 * <code>FetchProfile</code> allows the client to indicate this desire
 * to the server. <p>
 *
 * Note that implementations are not obligated to support
 * FetchProfiles, since there might be cases where the backend service 
 * does not allow easy, efficient fetching of such profiles. <p>
 *
 * Sample code that illustrates the use of a FetchProfile is given
 * below:  <p>
 * <blockquote>
 * <pre>
 *
 *  Message[] msgs = folder.getMessages();
 *
 *  FetchProfile fp = new FetchProfile();
 *  fp.add(FetchProfile.Item.ENVELOPE);
 *  fp.add("X-mailer");
 *  folder.fetch(msgs, fp);
 *
 * </pre></blockquote><p>
