tballison merged PR #1738:
URL: https://github.com/apache/tika/pull/1738
> Improve PST handling of attachments
> -----------------------------------
>
> Key: TIKA-4248
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-4248
> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: Task
> Reporter: Tim Allison
> Priority: Major
>
> The PST parser doesn't handle attachments in quite the same way as other
> parsers which hinders analysis of attachments.
> The problem is that the PST parser handles the text content of an email and
> the embedded attachments. And, the PST parser processes attachments before
> the main body. These two features make the normal patterns for embedded
> attachments break down in the RecursiveParserWrapper. For example, when the
> attachments are being processed, the RecursiveParserWrapper can't figure out
> what the path will be through the "body" because that hasn't been parsed yet.
> We should probably create a PSTMailItemParser that handles the content and
> the attachments like other parsers so that embedded paths can be maintained.
> This will be a breaking change, and I'm targeting it only to the 3.x branch.
