Dominik Stadler updated EMAIL-127:
----------------------------------

    Description: 
I have a unit test which shows that dollar sign and backslash cause 
ImageHtmlEmail to throw an Exception (unfortunately not easy to provide a 
complete unit test, but it should be easy to enhance one of the existing tests 
for ImageHtmlEmail):

{quote}
                        FileUtils.writeStringToFile(file, "<html>teststring 
<img title=\"$\" src=\"file://" + file.getAbsolutePath() + "\"/></html>");

                        sender.sendHTMLEmail(files, mailConfig, emailConfig, 
REPORT_DIR);
{quote}

It will throw the following Exception:

{quote}
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Illegal group reference
        at java.util.regex.Matcher.appendReplacement(Matcher.java:808)
        at 
org.apache.commons.mail.ImageHtmlEmail.replacePattern(ImageHtmlEmail.java:180)
        at 
org.apache.commons.mail.ImageHtmlEmail.buildMimeMessage(ImageHtmlEmail.java:103)
        at org.apache.commons.mail.Email.send(Email.java:1427)
        at EmailSender.sendHTMLEmail(EmailSender.java:93)
        at 
EmailSenderTest.testImageHtmlEmailDollarBackslash(EmailSenderTest.java:801)
{quote}

the cause is that Matcher.appendReplacement() actually treats Dollar and 
Backslash as special characters. From the javadoc of Matcher:

{quote}
     * Note that backslashes (<tt>\</tt>) and dollar signs (<tt>$</tt>) in
     * the replacement string may cause the results to be different than if it
     * were being treated as a literal replacement string. Dollar signs may be
     * treated as references to captured subsequences as described above, and
     * backslashes are used to escape literal characters in the replacement
     * string.
{quote}

A possible fix is to replace line 180 of ImageHtmlEmail.java with the 
following, i.e. replace {{$}} by {{\$}} and \ by \ \  to have them properly 
escaped.

{code}
matcher.appendReplacement(stringBuffer, (matcher.group(1) + "cid:" + cid + 
matcher.group(3)).replace("\\", "\\\\").replace("$", "\\$"));
{code}
