-------------------------------------
Assignee: Chris A. Mattmann
> Detecting standards-non-compliant emails as message/rfc822
> ----------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: TIKA-1602
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1602
> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Jeremy B. Merrill
> Assignee: Chris A. Mattmann
> Priority: Minor
> Original Estimate: 1h
> Remaining Estimate: 1h
>
> Tika does not properly detect certain emails as `message/rfc822` if they're
> slightly standards-non-compliant and begin with `Status: ` as the first
> header. I've added `Status: ` as a magic detection line in
> tika-mimetypes.xml.
> This solves my problem and does not appear to cause unit test failures. I
> have not yet run the tika-batch tests.
> As further information, the emails that are processed incorrectly come from
> dumps directly from various US public officials' mailservers. The dumps, I
> believe since they're not intended to be transmitted over the wire, sometimes
> are slightly non-compliant.
> It's important to note that Tika (and the underlying library, James Mime4J)
> do properly *parse* these emails, despite the non-compliant header. The
> problem is getting Tika to *detect* the file as an email so that Mime4J gets
> chosen to parse it.
