Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

I am writing to you in regard to an issue that I have been facing recently, and I wanted to see if the JavaMail developers / community could provide any answers.

Does JavaMail support the multipart/report MIME specification (RFC 1892)?

The reason I ask, is that I have seen a strong correlation between errors in JavaMail and this content....

I am getting Missing Start Boundary exceptions when I execute this code on a message that has this Mime Type in it, (multipart/report)

mp = (Multipart)part.getContent();
count = mp.getCount(); // THIS IS WHAT THROWS THE ERROR

An example of this message header, would be
X-Atlas-MailScanner-From: abc@123.com
Content-Type: multipart/report; report-type=delivery-status;
boundary="==IFJRGLKFGIR5607UHRUHIHD"

** NOTE HOW BOUNDARY IS SPECIFIED UNLIKE THE OTHER SECTIONS WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THE MISSING START BOUNDARY EXCEPTION **

--==IFJRGLKFGIR5607UHRUHIHD
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
......
--==IFJRGLKFGIR5607UHRUHIHD
Content-Type: message/rfc822

I have seen older posts that talk about other people's problem regarding this Exception; however, have not seen an abstract way for circumventing the issue.

Any insight/future development intentions/experience in dealing with this issue would be greatly appreciated.
