Add some kind of extension mechanism for parsing messages that violate the
standards
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MIME4J-117
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MIME4J-117
Project: JAMES Mime4j
Issue Type: New Feature
Affects Versions: 0.6
Reporter: Markus Wiederkehr
Fix For: 0.7
Mime4j claims that "the parser has been designed to be extremely tolerant
against messages violating the standards" right on its front page
(http://james.apache.org/mime4j/).
The question is how far should Mime4j go in order to keep that promise. For
example, should extra data following a valid transfer encoding be ignored or
should the parser fall back to 7-bit in that case?
Mime4j probably needs some kind of extension mechanism that allows a user to
define a custom behavior to deal with this sort of problems.
