Rough cut of mbox parser
------------------------
Key: TIKA-295
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-295
Project: Tika
Issue Type: New Feature
Affects Versions: 0.4
Reporter: Ken Krugler
Attached is a patch for a first-cut at a parser that handles mailbox (.mbox,
application/mbox) files.
* The first email headers are used to fill in metadata. Subsequent email
headers are tossed.
* Charset handling needs to be fixed up. It's unclear (not spec'd) whether
emails individually use the charset as specified in their individual header, or
the entire file should be re-encoded (and the encoding is sent in the response
header, or auto-detected).
* Multi-part emails won't be handled properly, though it's unclear what should
be done in that case (if anything).
