>                 Key: MIME4J-265
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MIME4J-265
>             Project: James Mime4j
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 0.7.2
>            Reporter: Raffaele Gambelli
>              Labels: headers
>
> I've implemented a sort of mail server and I have many threads listening for incoming emails.
> I'm using mime4j to parse javamail Message.
> I had only one case of:
> Caused by: org.apache.james.mime4j.io.MaxHeaderLengthLimitException: Maximum header length limit exceeded
>  at org.apache.james.mime4j.stream.DefaultFieldBuilder.append(DefaultFieldBuilder.java:63)
>         at org.apache.james.mime4j.stream.MimeEntity.readRawField(MimeEntity.java:212)
>         at org.apache.james.mime4j.stream.MimeEntity.nextField(MimeEntity.java:258)
> Looking at the code of DefaultFieldBuilder, it seems that the check over line length is not done on the single line but on the overall header, I'm refering to this line:
> {code:java}
> if (this.maxlen > 0 && this.buf.length() + len >= this.maxlen) {
> {code}
> Why should you add "this.buf.length" ?
> I know that there is no limit on header length, but only in its lines.
> I can't attach my eml for privacy reasons but I can confirm that I have no too much long line
> Thanks
