Tim Allison commented on TIKA-1879:
-----------------------------------
For "from", I assumed a single sender (which isn't always the case with "on
behalf of" and/or "via"), and I created separate fields for Exchange email
formats, e.g.
"/o=ExchangeLabs/ou=Exchange Administrative Group
(FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)/cn=Recipients/cn=polyspot1.onmicrosoft.com-50609-Some-One
was mapped to:
message_from_o=ExchangeLabs,
message_from_ou=Exchange AdministrativeGroup (FY...)
message_from_cn=polyspot1....
However, this won't map neatly to handling the "to" fields. One unsatisfactory
option is to keep a parallel arrays of names, smtpemails and exchangeemails,
with empty cells in the smtpemails when there is an exchange formatted email
and vice versa. A cleaner option would be to have a single pair of parallel
arrays with name[] and email[], where email[] would include the literal email
value, whether it is smtp or exchange; the user would then have to parse an
Exchange email address if they wanted to differentiate _o, _ou and _cn.
[~mcaruanagalizia] and [~lfcnassif], any recommendations?

> recipient name/recipient email for TO, CC and BCC.
