Patch attached.

This patch adds a new method:  protected StringBuffer buildEmailBody()

This method makes it easier for subclasses to customize the email message body.

Having a method return StringBuffer was a little strange.  I modified the name to String formatBody().  It will cause an extra StringBuffer allocation if encoding fails, but that is an edge case.

Committed in rev 773775.
