Luis Filipe Nassif commented on TIKA-2454:
------------------------------------------
[[email protected]], are you the flash? I was thinking about
Content-Type-Trusted, but Override is ok.
I think we should do similar changes in MBoxParser to fix its children
mediaType, given the recurrent detection problems with message/rfc822.
> Emails extracted from PSTs detected as unexpected file types
> ------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: TIKA-2454
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-2454
> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: detector, parser
> Affects Versions: 1.16
> Reporter: Matthew Caruana Galizia
> Fix For: 1.17
>
>
> This issue is severe. The Outlook PST parser extracts a string for the body
> of every email and passes that string to the {{EmbeddedDocumentExtractor}}.
> However, no content type is set on the {{Metadata}} object passed to the
> extractor. Therefore, if for example, the body of the email starts with the
> string "From John Smith." (for example, when an email was forwarded), then
> body of the email is detected as {{application/mbox}} and parsed as though it
> were an mbox file.
> I think the immediate fix for this issue is to force the type of the email to
> {{text/plain}} and for it to be parsed as such.
