[GitHub] incubator-ponymail issue #310: Bug: mbox_source can be corrupted if message ...

GitHub user sebbASF opened an issue:

    https://github.com/apache/incubator-ponymail/issues/310

    Bug: mbox_source can be corrupted if message is not in utf-8

    The archiver/importer in 0.10-SNAPSHOT assumes that the message body can be converted to utf-8 for storage in mbox_source. However that is not always the case.
    
    The mbox body text is converted using the content-type charset (or utf-8 if that fails).
    Something similar could be done for the mbox_source, but this might change the input, as a single message can potentially contain text in several different charsets. The export function could be affected.
    
    It would be safer to store the input as a binary copy.
    This would allow unmodified export to mbox or other formats.
    However it could affect the source display.

    Sample message that causes the issue:
    
    http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/openoffice-users-de/201612.mbox/%3C906a12f9-a548-19d3-29d9-d39d9d7bd4c5%40gmx.net%3E
    
    Note that the current Pony Mail version also corrupts the message display:

    This has been fixed in 0.10-SNAPSHOT
