I think I agree. Please contribute a patch :-)
> IllegalArgumentException in Message constructor when parsing erroneous message
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MIME4J-73
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MIME4J-73
> Project: JAMES Mime4j
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 0.5
> Reporter: Markus Wiederkehr
>
> The constructor of Message(InputStream) uses its inner class MessageBuilder
> to parse the input stream and create the object. The method
> MessageBuilder.field(String) calls Field.parse(String) to parse header
> fields. This method throws an IllegalArgumentException on parse errors.
> Clearly the Message constructor should throw a MimeException instead of an
> IllegalArgumentException if an invalid header field is encountered (or else
> it should simply ignore the field). So either Field.parse(String) should
> throw a MimeException or MessageBuilder.field(String) should catch and
> convert it.
> And by the way, could you make MessageBuilder public so it can be extended if
> a slightly different behavior is desired.
