----------------------------------------

             Summary: Possible wrong calculation of header length
                 Key: MIME4J-265
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MIME4J-265
             Project: James Mime4j
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 0.7.2
            Reporter: Raffaele Gambelli


I've implemented a sort of mail server and I have many threads listening for 
incoming emails.
I'm using mime4j to parse javamail Message.

I had only one case of:
Caused by: org.apache.james.mime4j.io.MaxHeaderLengthLimitException: Maximum 
header length limit exceeded
 at 
org.apache.james.mime4j.stream.DefaultFieldBuilder.append(DefaultFieldBuilder.java:63)
        at 
org.apache.james.mime4j.stream.MimeEntity.readRawField(MimeEntity.java:212)
        at 
org.apache.james.mime4j.stream.MimeEntity.nextField(MimeEntity.java:258)

Looking at the code of DefaultFieldBuilder, it seems that the check over line 
length is not done on the single line but on the overall header, I'm refering 
to this line:


{code:java}
if (this.maxlen > 0 && this.buf.length() + len >= this.maxlen) {
{code}

Why should you add "this.buf.length" ?
I know that there is no limit on header length, but only in its lines.

I can't attach my eml for privacy reasons but I can confirm that I have no too 
much long line

Thanks
