Jeremy B. Merrill commented on TIKA-1865:
-----------------------------------------
My heart wants to say yes, but my calendar says no. :) Or at least not with any
time super soon.
You're right that this is a ticket that's interesting to me, though. I did just
get my own dump of real-life .msg files (not shareable, unfortunately) and I've
noticed how senders' email addresses seem to get lost, which is a pain... Is
this just a feature that is not yet implemented? Or is there an underlying
reason why?
(Funnily enough, it matches the behavior of Outlook printouts, which gives you
only the sender's alias, not their address -- including, most annoyingly for
me, in the dumps of Hillary Clinton's emails that the State Dept. has been
releasing.)
Do we know if all the various email formats include the sender's email address,
so it'd be theoretically accessible to Tika somehow? What even are all the
formats for emails that Tika handles? Outlook (PST/MSG), .eml/rfc822, mbox,
anything else?
