org.apache.poi.hsmf.MAPIMessage - can not process certain MSG messages

[James Allchin <ja...@knowledgemill.com>]

Hi,

I am testing POI for parsing the text out of Microsoft MSG files. 

I have noticed two consistent issues whilst processing a set of test emails (8 failures out of 8500 test files). 

The first relates to "java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException at org.apache.poi.util.IntList.get"

The second relates to "java.io.IOException: Cannot remove block [XXX] at at org.apache.poi.poifs.storage.BlockListImpl.remove(BlockListImpl.java:114)"

I have the following test class in order to replicate the problems:

/*

package test;

import java.io.*;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import org.apache.poi.hsmf.MAPIMessage;

/**

public class Main {

    /**
     * @param args the command line arguments
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

        MAPIMessage mm = null;
        ArrayList<String> filenames = new ArrayList<String>();
        ArrayList<Exception> exceptions = new ArrayList<Exception>();
        filenames.add("/tmp/testfiles/12389.dat");
        filenames.add("/tmp/testfiles/14295.dat");
        filenames.add("/tmp/testfiles/16778.dat");
        filenames.add("/tmp/testfiles/17254.dat");
        filenames.add("/tmp/testfiles/4444.dat");
        filenames.add("/tmp/testfiles/5261.dat");
        filenames.add("/tmp/testfiles/5262.dat");
        filenames.add("/tmp/testfiles/5735.dat");

        System.out.println ("Attempting to process test files");
        System.out.println ("---------------------------------");

        for (int i = 0; i < filenames.size(); i++) {
            try {
              mm = new MAPIMessage(filenames.get(i));
              System.out.println("Subject is " + mm.getSubject());
            }
            catch (Exception e) {
                exceptions.add(e);
            }
        }

        System.out.println ("Printing exceptions");
        System.out.println ("---------------------------------");

        for (int i = 0; i < exceptions.size(); i++) {
            exceptions.get(i).printStackTrace();
        }


        
    }

}

Can someone advise where I can send the test emails to? I am not sure I can attach them when sending to the distribution list. 

Many thanks, 

James
