JAMES hangs on mails with 8-bit characters in headers
-----------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JAMES-1222
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-1222
             Project: JAMES Server
          Issue Type: Bug
         Environment: Windows XP
            Reporter: Dmitry


RFC 2822 and RFC 2047 require that all characters in headers with codes above 
127 must be encoded. But more then 10 percent of real e-mails have 
8-bit-characters in headers (not only spam! very popular forum engines send 
8-bit headers in mails). 
If JAMES has received such mails with 8-bit characters in headers and they are 
on server, I can not get ALL mails (RFC compliant and not compliant) through 
POP3: error 0x800CCC19 in Outlook Express (timeout) or error 0x8004210A in MS 
Outlook ('The operation timed out waiting for a response from the receiving 
(POP) server...') 

Through IMAP I get all mails. Messages that are not compliant to RFC have 
question marks in their headers in IMAP folders.
