Hi Matthew,

If I remember correctly, some headers were not being extracted by the 
RFC822PARSER after the refactoring of Mboxparser, so that logic was added to 
get the missed headers back, right [~thaichat04]? I think it may be better to 
fix the RFC822PARSER instead.

The windows-1252 charset was used initially to facilitate locating newlines and 
the "From" delimiter, I think it does not corrupt content because the chars are 
converted back to bytes and there is one to one mapping between chars and bytes 
with this charset. But I think that shouldn't be added to contentType metadata 
of mbox container.

That looks totally hosed.  Thank you for opening this and supplying an example 
triggering file. 

bq. But more to the point, what is the idea behind setting the headers in the 
MboxParser if they're going to be set by the RFC822Parser in any case?

TIKA-1244 brought that behavior in.  Before that, emails weren't treated as 
embedded files if I understand correctly.

bq.  why does the parser force Windows-1252 as the charset?
Again, no idea, -but I suspect that was because of the rfc822 method of 
encoding-.  I simply have no idea.  Are you able to share an example where this 
corrupts the content?
