Edwin Yeo Zheng Lin created TIKA-2815:
-----------------------------------------
Summary: Priority of processing EML file should be TEXT_PLAIN
instead of TEXT_HTML
Key: TIKA-2815
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-2815
Project: Tika
Issue Type: Bug
Components: parser
Affects Versions: 1.18, 1.17
Environment: Source code MailContentHandler.java, function
handleInlineBodyPart()
Reporter: Edwin Yeo Zheng Lin
>From the source code MailContentHandler.java, handleInlineBodyPart() function,
>we notice that in the processing of the EML files, the priority is to get the
>TEXT_HTML, followed by application/rtf, and finally TEXT_PLAIN.
However, as per my explanation in TIKA-2814, the content in TEXT_HTML is not
cleaned, whereas the content in TEXT_PLAIN is clean and readable.
As such, we should set the priority to be getting from TEXT_PLAIN as the first
priority. This will prevent all the unwanted words like "*FONT-SIZE: 9pt;
FONT-FAMILY: arial*" to be extracted out, and it could even lead to faster
processing speed,
I have uploaded a sample EML file here:
[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1z1gujv4SiacFeganLkdb0DhfZsNeGD2a/view?usp=sharing]
It has both the text/html section and text/plain section, and you can see that
the text/plain section is way much cleaner and readable, as compared to
text/html.
