Jeremy B. Merrill commented on TIKA-1602: ----------------------------------------- Sounds about right, thanks for finding that for me. I'll go ahead and mark the issue a dupe or close it. Any idea when that patch'll get merged into trunk? (Or -- since I'm an svn n00b -- if there's a way for me to download that patched version.) > Detecting standards-non-compliant emails as message/rfc822 > ---------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: TIKA-1602 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1602 > Project: Tika > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Jeremy B. Merrill > Priority: Minor > Original Estimate: 1h > Remaining Estimate: 1h > > Tika does not properly detect certain emails as `message/rfc822` if they're > slightly standards-non-compliant and begin with `Status: ` as the first > header. I've added `Status: ` as a magic detection line in > tika-mimetypes.xml. > This solves my problem and does not appear to cause unit test failures. I > have not yet run the tika-batch tests. > As further information, the emails that are processed incorrectly come from > dumps directly from various US public officials' mailservers. The dumps, I > believe since they're not intended to be transmitted over the wire, sometimes > are slightly non-compliant. > It's important to note that Tika (and the underlying library, James Mime4J) > do properly *parse* these emails, despite the non-compliant header. The > problem is getting Tika to *detect* the file as an email so that Mime4J gets > chosen to parse it. > Pull request on Github at https://github.com/apache/tika/pull/40 -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
