def body=( str )
  # Sets the body of the email to a new (encoded) string.
  # 
  # We also reparses the email if the body is ever reassigned, this is a performance hit, however when
  # you assign the body, you usually want to be able to make sure that you can access the attachments etc.
  # 
  # Usage:
  # 
  #  mail.body = "Hello, this is\nthe body text"
  #  # => "Hello, this is\nthe body"
  #  mail.body
  #  # => "Hello, this is\nthe body"
