[jira] [Commented] (TIKA-1267) Improve Mbox file detection

["Tyler Palsulich (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1267?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14371957#comment-14371957 ] 

Tyler Palsulich commented on TIKA-1267:
---------------------------------------

The current definition is:
{code}
  <mime-type type="application/mbox">
    <sub-class-of type="text/plain"/>
    <glob pattern="*.mbox"/>
  </mime-type>
{code}

I think it would be too general to call all text files that start with {{"From "}} to be identified as {{application/mbox}}.
