> The mbox parser code is overly optimistic. It parses the entire message looking for anything that matches a header pattern, wherever it occurs in a line!
> It looks to me like the parsing logic is in desperate need of a refactor. But more to the point, what is the idea behind setting the headers in the MboxParser if they're going to be set by the RFC822Parser in any case?
> Also, out of curiosity, why does the parser force Windows-1252 as the charset?
