2021-10-06msg_iter: split_quotes adds trailing "\n"
The regexp in split_quotes relies on the presence of a final "\n", so add it wherever we need to instead of making it the responsibility of every caller. This probably doesn't matter in practice since every email seems to have a "\n" as the final byte (due to the way SMTP works), but maybe there's some odd ones that'll get imported via lei.
2021-03-12msg_part_text: discover text in application/octet-stream
Some poorly-configured MUAs will send application/octet-stream even for text-only attachments. We can't make expect all MUAs are configured with proper MIME types, and there is plenty of historical mail that falls into this unfortunate criteria. v2: simplify the check and ensures returned text is Perl "utf8"

2020-06-13eml: each_part: single part $idx is 1
Instead of counts starting at 0, we start the single-part message at 1 like we do with subparts of a multipart message. This will make it easier to map offsets for "BODY[$SECTION]" when using IMAP FETCH, since $SECTION must contain non-zero numbers according to RFC 3501. This doesn't make any difference for WWW URLs, since single part messages cannot have downloadable attachments.
2020-05-17descend into message/(rfc822|news|global) parts
Email::MIME never supported this properly, but there's real instances of forwarded messages as message/rfc822 attachments. message/news is legacy thing which we'll see in archives, and message/global appears to be the new thing. gmime also supports message/rfc2822, so we'll support it anyways despite lacking other evidence of its existence. Existing attachments remain downloadable as a whole message, but individual attachments of subparts are now downloadable and can be displayed in HTML, too. Furthermore, ensure Xapian can now search for common headers inside those messages as well as the message bodies.
2020-05-09msg_iter: pass $idx as a scalar, not array
This doesn't make any difference for most multipart messages (or any single part messages). However, this starts having space savings when parts start nesting. It also slightly simplifies callers.
2020-05-09msg_iter: make ->each_part method for PublicInbox::MIME
The reliance on Email::MIME->subparts is a tad inefficient with a work-in-progress module to replace Email::MIME. So move towards using ->each_part as a class-specific iterator which can take advantage of more class-specific optimizations in the yet-to-be-revealed PublicInbox::Eml and PublicInbox::Gmime classes. The msg_iter() sub remains for compatibility with existing 3rd-party scripts/modules which use our small public Perl API and Email::MIME.
2020-04-03quiet "Complex regular subexpression recursion limit" warnings
These seem mostly harmless since Perl will just truncate the match and start a new one on a newline boundary in our case. The only downside is we'd end up with redundant <span> tags in HTML. Limiting the number of line matched ourselves with `{1,$NUM}' doesn't seem prudent since lines vary in length, so we continue to defer the job of limiting matches to the Perl regexp engine. I've noticed this warning in practice on 100K+ line patches to locale data.

I didn't wait until September to do it, this year!
2020-01-12www: discard multipart parent on iteration
We're often iterating through messages while writing to another buffer in our WWW interface, causing memory usage to multiply. Since we know we won't need to keep the MIME object around in some cases, and can tell msg_iter to clobber the on-stack variable while it operates on subparts of multipart messages. With xt/mem-msgview.t switched to multipart from the previous commit, this shows a 13 MB memory reduction on that test.
2019-12-26msg_iter: provide means to stop using anonymous subs
And remove the last anonymous sub in SolverGit itself.
2019-12-19msgiter: msg_part_text returns undef on text/html
We want HTML parts to be downloadable, but not displayed as unreadable (but injection-safe) HTML source in our own web and Atom interfaces. This affects indexing, too, as HTML tags/comments won't be indexed anymore, but existing indices are only cleaned after --reindex. HTML-only mail won't be indexed at all, but we won't cross that bridge until somebody cares about that crap. We'll continue to actively discourage such waste of CPU cycles, bandwidth, cache and storage. Fixes: 7d82a8bc04ce2e68 (handle "multipart/mixed" messages which are not multipart')
2019-10-31msgiter: attempt to decode all text/* bodies
We want to index text/x-patch and text/x-diff, at least, since "git format-patch" can generate a patch series as attachments using --attach.
2019-10-31msgiter: do not assume UTF-8 if Email::MIME->body_str succeeds
ISO-2202-JP and other non-UTF-8 messages need to be displayed correctly. Fixes: 7d82a8bc04ce ('handle "multipart/mixed" messages which are not multipart')

2018-12-30handle "multipart/mixed" messages which are not multipart
I've found two examples on https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/ where the messages declared themselves to be "multipart/mixed" but were actually plain text: <87llgalspt.fsf@free.fr> <200308111450.h7BEoOu20077@mail.osdl.org> With the mboxrd downloaded, mutt is able to view them without difficulty. Note: this change would require reindexing of Xapian to pick up the changes. But it's only two ancient messages, the first was resent by the original sender and the second is too old to be relevant.

2017-01-10introduce PublicInbox::MIME wrapper class
This should fix problems with multipart messages where text/plain parts lack a header. cf. git clone --mirror https://github.com/rjbs/Email-MIME.git refs/pull/28/head In the future, we may still introduce as streaming interface to reduce memory usage on large emails.
2016-06-17msg_iter: support read-only elements
Apparently, it's possible to have read-only bodies in Email::MIME objects. Haven't gotten a chance to reliably reproduce it, though...
2016-05-19msg_iter: workaround broken Email::MIME versions
Email::MIME >= 1.923 and < 1.935 would drop too many newlines in attachments. This would lead to ugly text files without a proper trailing newline if using quoted-printable, 7bit, or 8bit. Attachments encoded with base64 were not affected. These versions of Email::MIME are widely available in Debian 8 (Jessie) and even Ubuntu LTS distros so we will need to support this workaround for a while.
2016-05-19msg_iter: new internal API for iterating through MIME
Unlike Email::MIME::walk_parts, this is non-recursive and gives depth + index offset information about the part for creating links for later retrieval It is intended for read-only access and changes are not propagated to the parent; however future versions of it may clobber bodies or the original version as it iterates to reduce memory overhead. It is intended for making it easy to locate attachments within a message in the WWW view.
