Thilo Goetz commented on TIKA-295:
----------------------------------
I have used mstor in the past, which is under a BSD license and worked well for
me. It drags in a whole boatload of dependencies (and I didn't check all the
licenses), but I suspect that just for MBOX parsing you won't need most of
them. It might be worth checking out mstor before writing our own mbox parser.

> Project: Tika

> Affects Versions: 0.4
> Reporter: Ken Krugler
> Assignee: Jukka Zitting
> Fix For: 0.5

> Attachments: tika-295.patch

>
> 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).
