We can generate new test files using mime4j to be able to test backward compatibilities. Of course we'll need manual review of the generated data to be sure that mime4j generated correct expected result.

They were probably used only to create test data.

Do you think we can use "offline" perl mime-tools to generate expected results for our own (or from SpamAssassin corpus) mime messages so that we can then check mime4j gives the same result? What I mean: the output generated by a perl script licensed under the Artistic License what license have? I think it is only related to the license of the input file and not to the license of the processing/transorming tool, but can anyone confirm this?
i'd need to take a look at the files generated by the tool to be sure. generated files are not the products of a creative process and are derived works of the meta-data. - robert --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
