Need help regarding Java decoding of IMAP attachment (IOStream related ques

Question

Hi ,
I need some help regarding the processing of an IMAP attachment , It is a basic IOStream related question I guess.
I have some attachment to a mail , I try to fetch it using javamail and read the content and write it to a file , I was able to do it successfully when I was using stream.read( tempBuffer) function but when I started using stream.read( tempBuffer, 0, m_maxDataSize ); it is giving me following exception
java.io.IOException: Error in encoded stream: needed at least 2 valid base64 characters, but only got 1 before padding character (=), the 10 most recent characters were: "/59PT/eXQ="
     at com.sun.mail.util.BASE64DecoderStream.decode(BASE64DecoderStream.java:259)
     at com.sun.mail.util.BASE64DecoderStream.read(BASE64DecoderStream.java:148)
***Here is the snippet of code that is running this:***
m_contentObj = m_message.getContent();
if(m_contentObj instanceof InputStream)
     System.out.println(" Content is type of InputStream");
     InputStream stream = (InputStream) m_contentObj;
     byte[] tempBuffer = new byte[m_maxDataSize];
     stream.skip( m_currPos );
     int bytesRead=stream.read( tempBuffer, 0, m_maxDataSize );
     System.out.println(" Read the following no of bytes from the Object::"+bytesRead);
     m_currPos+=     bytesRead;
Please suggest what to do.
Thanks & Regards
Saurabh
