Tim Allison commented on TIKA-3957:
-----------------------------------
This mod turned out to be much more verbose than what we had. However, we've
at least factored date parsing out of the MailContentHandler, and we've made
the parsers threadsafe instead of creating new SimpleDateFormats for every date.
We'll likely want to add the ability to specify custom date formats in the
RFC822Parser so that users can override the current behavior.
That said, testing is much simpler now, and I think we cover many more cases
than we did before.

> In looking at mime4j's source code, they have a much more elegant solution
