Hi,
I just used Tika (org.apache.tika:tika-parsers:1.13) to parse an e-mail
with multipart/mixed content.
Please have a look at the attachment (renamed to txt).
The parsing result of Tika is the file in plain text including all
headers an boundary elements.
The words in the attachment are also not parsed.
Is this the defined behaviour of Tika?
I only expected the body content of each part and used that simple test
code to investigate that problem.
final TikaInputStream tikaInputStream = TikaInputStream.get(emlFile);
final Metadata metadata = new Metadata();
metadata.set(TikaCoreProperties.CONTENT_TYPE_HINT, "message/rfc822");
metadata.set(TikaMetadataKeys.RESOURCE_NAME_KEY, "mixedtest.eml");
final BodyContentHandler handler = new BodyContentHandler(20000000);
final AutoDetectParser parser = new AutoDetectParser();
parser.parse(tikaInputStream, handler, metadata);
System.out.println(handler.toString());
System.out.println("type: " +
parser.getDetector().detect(tikaInputStream, metadata));
The type result is "message/rfc822", which is pretty fine I think.
Do I have to parse the EML myself into different content parts to get
only the body text of each part?
I expected that Tika resolves that kind of multi-part files.
Best regards
Ingo
