Aspose Email fails to parse eml with calendar invite with an attendee containing an empty mailto

Aspose.Email Product Family

An empty mailto is valid - mailto - Wikipedia.

We have a calendar invite with an attendee that has an empty mailto - e.g. -

ATTENDEE;CN=John Doe;CUTYPE=INDIVIDUAL;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED:Mailto:/O=ABC/OU=DEF (GHI)/CN=JKL/CN=ABCDEFG

When we try to parse this calendar invite using Aspose Email as follows …

ByteArrayInputStream appointmentInputStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(calendarInviteBytes)) {
Appointment appointment = Appointment.load(appointmentInputStream, APPOINTMENT_LOAD_OPTIONS);

… then it fails with an exception as follows …

com.aspose.email.system.exceptions.FormatException: The specified string is not in the form required for an e-mail address.
com.aspose.email.MailAddress.a(SourceFile:847)
com.aspose.email.MailAddress.d(SourceFile:741)
com.aspose.email.MailAddress.(SourceFile:149)
com.aspose.email.MailAddress.(SourceFile:101)
com.aspose.email.MailAddress.(SourceFile:177)

com.aspose.email.zhf.b(SourceFile:233)
com.aspose.email.Appointment.a(SourceFile:1491)
com.aspose.email.Appointment.load(SourceFile:1473)

Could you please look into this.

Thanks

Hello @gs01,

It seems that in your case the mailto is not empty, but has the value “/O=ABC/OU=DEF (GHI)/CN=JKL/CN=ABCDEFG”, which is not valid.

Even if mailto is empty, it still throws an exception. Can you confirm if this is intended behaviour and not a bug.

… Also, if the AD details in a mailto does not contain an email address, it is still valid.

Hello @vsingh52, @gs01

I’m sorry, I forgot to mention. Have you tried using AppointmentLoadOptions.setIgnoreSmtpAddressCheck(true) according to Working with Appointments|Documentation

Please share your feedback about it.
