Should MimeException extent IOException
---------------------------------------
Key: MIME4J-76
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MIME4J-76
Project: JAMES Mime4j
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 0.4
Reporter: Markus Wiederkehr
Fix For: 0.5
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.
