messages
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MIME4J-11?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Stefano Bagnara resolved MIME4J-11.
-----------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
As an improvement it would be cool to have brand new test messages created from scratch to test corner cases of parsing, but the bug as been fixed removing copyrighted files.

> In src/test/resources/testmsgs we have files with unknown copyright.
> I guess they are test files from the Perl MIME-tools library written by
> ZeeGee software (http://www.zeegee.com/products/MIME-tools/).
> I also verified that every msg file (the original encoded messages are
> only the msg files, the others are expanded/elaborated data/expected
> results generated from that messages) is in the following file:
> MIME-tools-6.200_02.tar.gz
> I found that file here: http://search.cpan.org/~eryq/MIME-tools-6.200_02/

> I don't know if proper NOTICE/LICENSE text allow us to include the test
> suite (it is difficult for me to say if a MIME message is a source file
> or a binary file).
> That said I pass the microphone to someone with better legal knowledge.
> Imho, if we can't have an official answer to this problem in a short
> time we should simply remove that files. (we could even generate some
> message with similar structure from scratch).
> PS: Kudos to Bernd for his diligence in finding this issue.

> The best solution would be to create a new test suite based on artificially generated data (or public corpus, as Norman suggested: http://spamassassin.apache.org/publiccorpus/)
