Sebb commented on MIME4J-259:
-----------------------------
As a short-term fix, the entries in FromLinePatterns could be changed to use
"\r?\n" instead of "$" and the code changed to drop the +1.
However I think it would be better to return the full chunk including the From_
line, as that has potentially useful info.
> MboxIterator does not handle EOL = CRLF

> Key: MIME4J-259
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MIME4J-259
> Project: James Mime4j
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Sebb
>
> The MboxIterator class assumes that the EOL consists of a single character,
> so it increments findEnd by 1 to get the start of the message.
> This causes problems for files which have a CRLF line ending, because the
> generated message contains a leading LF which confuses the parser.
> The iterator should ensure that the entire EOL is skipped.
> However it might be better to keep the From_ line in the returned message.
> The parser can then process it to extract its data.
