Mime4j does not throw an exception if a date header field is
malformed. The same is true for erroneous address lists, mailboxes and
mailbox lists.
Wouldn't it be consequent not to throw an exception if a header field
does not match the required regex?
Another possible solution would be:
public static Field parseUnchecked(final String raw) throws
IllegalArgumentException {
// ...
}
public static Field parse(final String raw) throws MimeException {
try {
return parseUnchecked(raw);
} catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
throw new MimeException("Invalid header field", e);
}
}
I'm not sure if I like that either..
