Sam Stephens commented on TIKA-3710:
------------------------------------
Is it valid for a message/rfc822 message to have a bunch of preamble like the
HTML tags in my document before the headers? Is the answer that the RFC822
detection here is too loose, and the non-header material at the beginning of my
file should result in the message/rfc822 parser rejecting it?

> Key: TIKA-3710
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-3710
> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: detector
> Affects Versions: 2.3.0
> Reporter: Sam Stephens
> Priority: Major
> Attachments: html-that-looks-like-rfc822.html
>
>
> I'm detecting content types and extracting text from documents using the
> AutoDetectParser.
> I've received some documents that are HTML fragments generated from emails.
> The documents are clearly HTML, not emails, but the AutoDetectParser gives me
> the MIME type message/rfc822 and no text. I've attached an example.
> It looks like the presence of From:, Sent:, and Subject: at the beginning of
> lines is why the documents are matching RFC822. However, I believe the
> presence of HTML before these headers means the document is not valid RFC822.
