MIME-encoded headers

Aspose.Email Product Family
1

I’m loading emails from a .PST, converting the MapiMessage objects to MailMessages using a MailMessageInterpretor and writing the results as .EML files using MailMessage.save(). The resulting files have header fields in RFC-2047 “encoded-word” format (=?xxx?x?xxx?=), even though they’re us-ascii.


Is there any way to avoid this behavior? In other words, instead of this:

From: =?us-ascii?Q?Steven_P_South?=

…I’d prefer to get this:

From: “Steven P South”

Hi John,


Thanks for writing to Aspose.Email support team.

Could you please provide us the sample PST along with the sample console application to extract and save messages? It will help us to re-produce the issue here and provide you assistance as soon as possible.

Your cooperation is highly appreciated in this regard.

Kashif,


Thanks for getting back to me. I’ve attached a zip with a minimal test case based on our code, which is based on the example code on your site.

Run with “java -DAspose.License=/path/to/your/license/file -cp whatever PstReader”. It expects to find the .pst file in the current directory, and will create two .eml files in the same place. The From:, To: and Subject: headers of these .emls should exhibit the behavior I described.

We can reproduce this behavior in the following two environments:

Linux:
$ uname -a
Linux nylxdev1 2.6.18-308.4.1.el5 #1 SMP Wed Mar 28 01:54:56 EDT 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

$ java -version
java version "1.7.0_10"
Java™ SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_10-b18)
Java HotSpot™ 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.6-b04, mixed mode)

Solaris:
$ uname -a
SunOS sundev36 5.10 144488-05 sun4v sparc SUNW,T5240

$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_14"
Java™ SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_14-b08)
Java HotSpot™ Server VM (build 14.0-b16, mixed mode)


Thanks,
John

Thank you for providing the sample PST file.

After further investigating this issue, I was able to observe the issue with the message headers that happens due to encoding issues. I have logged this issue as NETWRKJAVA-33262 in our issue tracking system for further investigation by our development team.

Kashif,


I’ve been informed that I should have logged this issue under the ‘bloomberg’ user ID instead of creating my own. Is it possible to reassign the issue, to ensure that it gets handled according to Bloomberg’s support arrangements?

Thanks,
John
