[jira] [Created] (MIME4J-198) AddressList.parse(...) and
AddressListParser should respect the "name" in the comments
AddressList.parse(...) and AddressListParser should respect the "name" in the comments
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MIME4J-198
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MIME4J-198
Project: JAMES Mime4j
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: parser (core)
Affects Versions: 0.6.1, 0.6, 0.5
Reporter: Norman Maurer
Priority: Minor
Back in the old days a FROM line did look this:
From: jerry@eagle.ATT.COM (Jerry Schwarz)
So the name is included in the "comment".
See http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1036.html
There are still some MUA's which use this "syntax". It would be nice if this would be respected

[jira] [Updated] (MIME4J-198) AddressList.parse(...) and
AddressListParser should respect the "name" in the comments

-------------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 0.8
Norman
I did try to make the LenientAddressBuilder capable of dealing with the name in comment cases and had to conclude that a solution generic enough as to handle all possible combinations would likely take an ungodly amount of ugly code due to the inherent ambiguity of the syntax
---
From: jerry@eagle.ATT.COM (Jerry Schwarz) -> Jerry Schwarz <je...@eagle.ATT.COM>
From: jerry@eagle.ATT.COM (garbage)(more garbage) -> <je...@eagle.ATT.COM>
From: jerry@eagle.ATT (somewhere in England) .CO.UK -> <je...@eagle.ATT.CO.UK>
---
I was not able to produce a reliable parsing routine even using a very inefficient algorithm that involved several scans/iterations and intermediate copies of data.
If compatibility with such legacy format is really important let's delay it until 0.8 and take a bit more time to think options over. My preference would be simply to not support such format at all.

----------------------------------------
I never saw this kind of comment in a real mail. What MUAs creates a similar header?
