String[]	getHeader(String name) Returns all of the values for the specified header as an array of String objects.
Iterator	getMatchingHeaders(String[] names) Returns all the MimeHeader objects whose name matches a name in the given array of names.
Iterator	getNonMatchingHeaders(String[] names) Returns all of the MimeHeader objects whose name does not match a name in the given array of names.
void	removeAllHeaders() Removes all the header entries from this MimeHeaders object.
void	removeHeader(String name) Remove all MimeHeader objects whose name matches the given name.
