While I agree it should be like this I will say Kostya has a point here. Five years ago I worked on an e-mail parser for an antivirus package. As it turned out, one of the most widely used MUAs, Outlook Express, is so insanely non-standard that there were numerous times when I asked myself if it was still just incompetence, or if it was broken deliberately. However, you totally can't afford not to parse a message if a MUA does. You can argue that the message is incomplete, ambiguous and unparseable until you're blue in the face, if there's MUA that parses it *somehow* and shows a potentially infected attachment to the user you'd better parse it too so that it can be scanned ... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
