Re: bug in commons email (MIME related)

[Ryan Hoegg <rh...@isisnetworks.net>]

Hi,

Well I needed a break from writing requirements and I use commons-email, 
so I thought I'd chip in here.

This String is used to set the Content-ID header, which is specified in 
RFC 2392.  (I love rfc-editor.org).

<blockquote>
content-id = url-addr-spec
<snip/>
url-addr-spec = addr-spec ; URL encoding of RFC 822 addr-spec
cid-url = "cid" ":" content-id
</blockquote>

Well, I discovered that RFC 2822 (a proposed standard) obsoletes RFC822, 
but in my 5 minutes of reading they seemed to agree on what an addr-spec 
is: "addr-spec = local-part "@" domain ; global address".  That's the 
one from 822, 2822 gets more complex with the local-part and the domain. 

Anyway, it seems Just Plain Wrong to shove random characters in there, 
right?  The examples in RFC2387 seem to be appending an @domain.com to 
the Content-ID's anyway.  If I missed something obvious, my apologies.  
Today was the first time I looked at these RFCs.

I remember Noel and some others discussing a possible MIME library on 
this list recently; perhaps they have some input?
