Stefano Bagnara commented on MIME4J-152:
----------------------------------------

It seems MimeEntity have very similar code for EntityStates.T_PREAMBLE and 
T_IN_BODYPART states.
Analyzing the minor differences (trying to clean up code) I found out this bug.

It can be easily solved by remove any code from T_PREABLE and leave the 
switch/case fallback to T_IN_BODYPART.
        case EntityStates.T_PREAMBLE:
                // removed specific code. Fallback to T_IN_BODYPART that
                // better handle missing parts.
        case T_IN_BODYPART:


(PS: maybe we don't need the T_IN_BODYPART state anymore and we could use the 
T_PREABLE instead..)

> Mime4j currenlty parse a message having only the start boundary as an empty 
> message (zero parts) but at the same time parse a message with no boundary 
> (no start and no end) as a message with 1 empty part.
> This is clearly wrong.
> We also already have a missing-inner-boundary.msg in our testsuite but the 
> expectation files are wrong.
