[Soc-coordination] Status Report: ListArchive - week 2

[Pali Rohár]

Hello,

this week I looked at some debian mbox archives which I got from 
my mentor. I found more problems in my program which caused 
incorrect parsing of mbox files (parsing problems when unknown or 
stupid values was in Content-Transfer-Encoding header or 
whitespace name in From) and more serious problem that external 
module which I was using causing total freeze of program 
(infinite loop). I fixed parsing problems, so my program should 
interpret data from mbox/mime emails better and also contacted 
maintainer of that problematic perl module. As maintainer is on 
vacation now, he cannot look at it yet. My mentor recommended me 
another perl module which he already tested on debian archives. 
So I rewrote code to use that module and my program now can read 
& parse all emails in debian-devel mbox archives which I have (at 
least I do not see crash, fatal errors infinite loops or damaged 
output data).
