--------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you [~letzlerr] for opening this and pointing to a triggering document.
Fellow devs, as Rob points out, in the OutlookParser, we select the first of
the non-null bodies in this order: html, rtf, text. We do not include all of
the bodies, which would be duplicative. Also, we "inline" the body, we don't
treat it as a separate attachment. Should we try to modify the RFC822 parser
to do the same thing as the OutlookParser?

> MBOX import includes redundant copies of the text

> Key: TIKA-2478
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-2478
> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.16
> Reporter: Robert Letzler
> Priority: Minor
>
> MBOX messages often get parsed into four documents:
> a. The mbox file - outer container "/"
> b. The actual email-- "/embedded-1"
> c. The utf-8 text content of the email "/embedded-1/embedded-2"
> d. The utf-8 html content of the email "/embedded-1/embedded-3"
> entries C and D are redundant and distracting. The MSG parser parses the
> first non-null: email body and then it skips the rest. Please modify MBOX to
> not have separate "attached" documents for the html body and the text body.
> The attachment to https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-2471 is an
> example of input sufficient to generate this behavior.
> Thanks!
