Oleg Kalnichevski updated MIME4J-205:
-------------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 0.7.1
If I hear no objections, I'll make MessageImpl add an MIME-Version header per
default.
Oleg
> Missing MIME-Version Header
> ---------------------------
>
> Key: MIME4J-205
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MIME4J-205
> Project: JAMES Mime4j
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: dom
> Affects Versions: 0.7
> Environment: Java 1.5, Windows 7, 64-bit
> Reporter: Robert Lee
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 0.7.1
>
>
> When creating a "multipart/mixed" message using the DOM API, no
> "MIME-Version" header is added to the message, as is required by RFC 2045
> (MIME 1.0) Section 4 for all MIME messages. This bug even manifests itself
> with the "MultipartMessage" sample class that Mime4j 0.7 ships with. Run the
> example exactly as it exists in the source release and observe that the
> generated message does not comply with RFC-2045 (MIME 1.0). The missing
> header is causing multipart messages generated by mime4j to be parsed
> incorrectly by several strict email clients including the "c-client" PHP
> extension (used by earlier versions of Horde Groupware, etc...).
> The example can be fixed by adding the line (after the setSubject call):
> {noformat}
> message.getHeader().addField(DefaultFieldParser.parse("MIME-Version: 1.0"));
> {noformat}
> ...but I would recommend that this header be added automatically by
> MessageImpl's constructor for all messages since all messages generated by
> Mime4j are indeed MIME 1.0 messages. This solution would also address the
> minor annoyance of MessageImpl's getHeader() method returning null in certain
> circumstances.
