Summary: POI-3.8 HSMF fails to extract dates from certain

Severity: normal

Status: NEW
Version: 3.8
Component: HSMF

Two sample Outlook 2007 messages, one whose date POI HSMF fails to recognize,
and one whose date POI HSMF successfully recognizes
Overview
--------
POI HSMF fails to recognize the dates in some of my Outlook 2007 (.msg) files.
Steps to Reproduce
------------------
I have two reproducible tests, and I've attached a zip file containing test
.msg files that illustrate my results. When I use the first file
(test-message-poi-succeeds.msg), POI HSMF succeeds. When I use the second file
(test-message-poi-fails.msg), POI HSMF fails. Here are the two tests:
1) The first test is to run the .msg files through Tika 1.2 (which uses POI
HSMF to parse Outlook files), using the following command:
java -jar tika-app-1.2.jar -m <filename>
Tika succeeds to find the date on the first message, returning these headers --
9 of which contain dates, and the key field being "date: 2012-06-22T18:32:54Z":

2) The second test is to run POI HSMFDump directly on each file:
java -classpath poi-3.8-20120326.jar:poi-scratchpad-3.8-20120326.jar
org.apache.poi.hsmf.dev.HSMFDump <filename>
When I run this command on the first file, it returns ALL of the fields above
(including the 'date' field) in the following area:
125 - TransportMessageHeaders - Unicode String
When I run this command on the second file, it returns NO 'date' fields, and no
such '125' field.
I would appreciate anyone's assistance with this issue.
My System
---------
I am using poi-bin-3.8-20120326, tika-app-1.2, and Mac OS X 10.8.1 with Java
1.6.0_33.
