[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-134?page=comments#action_12362796 ]
OG commented on JAMES-134: -------------------------- Hello again. I have downloaded the james source code and took a closer look at the MimeMessage which is the prime suspect here. However, it seems like the constructor "public MimeMessage(Session session, InputStream is)" calls "parse(is)" and there it checks if "is instanceof SharedInputStream" and only if not it reads the whole thing to the memory. So how it looks to me (which may be wrong because I don't know a lot beyond it), is that if "is" will be made to be a SharedInputStream before it is passed on to the constructor of the MimeMessage than MimeMessage would not read it to the byte array "content" and use it as is. So now I want to know if this is indeed the only place where such problems rise, and if finding all calls to that constructors and replacing "is" with a "new MySharedIS(is)" would resolve the issue.
