                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MIME4J-172
             Project: JAMES Mime4j
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: project
    Affects Versions: 0.6
            Reporter: Stefano Bagnara
             Fix For: 0.8


ParsedField interface has "isValid" and "getParseException": from the DOM perspective a field should always be valid, shouldn't it? Shouldn't we throw exception during parsing instead of building the dom node with "isValid"/"getParseException" methods? Can you provide an use case where an exception/monitor during parsing is not enough and we need to carry the "invalidity" to the DOM?
