Detelin Yordanov commented on MIME4J-244:
-----------------------------------------
I examined the source code of the QuotedPrintableInputStream and though I'm not
quite familiar with the implementation, there is one thing that struck me - the
"lastWasCR" flag is local to the read method and this means that in some cases,
the information about the last CR byte will be lost. This can happen when the
input is read in chunks and the last byte of the chunk happens to be a CR byte
- in this case the flag will be set, but since the read method will terminate,
the value will not be transferred for the next invocation of the read method -
if that happens to start with a LF, the "Found LF without CR" error will be
thrown.
It looks like this can be fixed by moving the "lastWasCR" as a member variable
in the class so that its value is preserved through read method calls. I'm not
sure how good this solution is, but it seems to fix the exception when testing
the parsing of the sample string above in strict mode.

> Project: James Mime4j
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: parser (core)
> Affects Versions: 0.7.2
> Reporter: Detelin Hadzhiev
> Fix For: 0.7.3, 0.8.0
>
>
> Lets assume that we a message encoded using "quoted printable" encoding like
> this:
> "text before eq sign =\r\n text after LF"
> When you try to decode it using QuotedPrintableInputStream in Strict Mode you
> will get following exception:
> java.io.IOException: Found LF without CR

> The same is fine using SILENT mode.
