Richard Zowalla closed GERONIMO-6656.
-------------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
Fixed on main in commit 39e6b14, shipping in Mail_2.1_1.1.1.
Thanks for the ReceivedMail.txt attachment - it was what pinned down the cause.
The To: header in it is folded inside the quoted display name:
To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]>, "\"sailaja \\ ravipati
(EXT/PET-ICT\"" <[email protected]>
RFC 5322 section 3.2.2 allows folding white space inside a quoted string, and
section 2.2.3 unfolds it by removing the line break and keeping the white space
that follows. AddressParser rejected CR outright in its quoted string, domain
literal and comment scanners, so the parse failed with "Illegal line end in
literal" - the carriage return in the display name you described. This was on
the default path, since mail.mime.address.strict defaults to true.
The three scanners now recognise a fold and step over just the line break.
Behaviour outside a fold is deliberately unchanged: a line break not followed
by white space is not folding white space, so a bare CR is still a syntax error.
Your message now parses end to end, giving personal=["sailaja \ ravipati
(EXT/PET-ICT"] with no embedded CR, in both strict and lenient mode. Jakarta
Mail 2.1 TCK: 321/321.
Note that reading that message also required GERONIMO-6908, which is linked and
fixed in the same push.
