[jira] [Created] (TIKA-2042) MBOX file detected wrongly as text/html

Vjeran Marcinko created TIKA-2042:
-------------------------------------

             Summary: MBOX file detected wrongly as text/html
                 Key: TIKA-2042
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-2042
             Project: Tika
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 1.13
         Environment: Ubuntu 14.04, Apache Tika 1.13 and 1.14 nightly at the time of this writing
            Reporter: Vjeran Marcinko


MBOX file doesn't get recognized via "magic detection" mechanism as "application/mbox", but wrongly as "text/html".

Workaround for this in Tika 1.13 is achieved by placing following in custom-mimetypes.xml, as suggested on mailing list (priority has to be larger than message/rfc822):
<mime-type type="application/mbox">
        <magic priority="70">
            <match value="From " type="string" offset="0"/>
        </magic>
        <glob pattern="*.mbox"/>
</mime-type>

Sample MBOX file is attached.
