> =C2=A0The Jakarta Mail TCK 2.1.1 exposes a cluster of client-side defects=
in the jakarta.mail.internet classes, covering 17 of the TCK's tests. All =
are independent of any mail server. In detail:
> * Filename handling: MimeMessage.getFileName() reads the parameter-strip=
ped disposition value so the filename parameter is never found; MimeMessage=
uses session-scoped lookups for mail.mime.encodefilename/decodefilename wh=
ere MimeBodyPart honors System properties; setFileName() force-writes a def=
aulted text/plain Content-Type, clobbering explicitly set types; non-ASCII =
filenames are written raw instead of RFC 2231-encoded.
> * Parsing/formatting: MailDateFormat.parse() leaves the current time's m=
illiseconds in the result, breaking date equality; ContentType.match(String=
) NPEs on null; getContentLanguage() returns the raw comma-joined header in=
stead of a split list; RFC 2047 encoded-words with lowercase encoding lette=
rs are rejected; the strict RFC 2231 decoder accepts invalid %-hex sequence=
s; MimeUtility.fold()/unfold() deviates from the reference behavior in 13 o=
f 48 TCK folddata cases.
> * Structure/rendering: MimeMultipart(DataSource) never initializes the c=
ontent type, so writeTo() NPEs for store-backed multiparts; multipart pream=
ble line endings are rewritten to CRLF; InternetAddress.toUnicodeString() h=
as an index bug that renders \{"a","b"} as "a, a"; address parsing rejects =
all bytes >=3D 0x80, preventing UTF-8 addresses (mail.mime.allowutf8).
