Oleg Kalnichevski updated MIME4J-198:
-------------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 0.8
Norman
I did try to make the LenientAddressBuilder capable of dealing with the name in
comment cases and had to conclude that a solution generic enough as to handle
all possible combinations would likely take an ungodly amount of ugly code due
to the inherent ambiguity of the syntax

I was not able to produce a reliable parsing routine even using a very
inefficient algorithm that involved several scans/iterations and intermediate
copies of data.
If compatibility with such legacy format is really important let's delay it
until 0.8 and take a bit more time to think options over. My preference would
be simply to not support such format at all.

> Back in the old days a FROM line did look like this:
> From: [email protected] (Jerry Schwarz)
> So the name is included in the "comment".
> See http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1036.html
> There are still some MUA's which use this "syntax". It would be nice if this
> would be respected and good get retrieved via Mailbox.getName();
