NPE on ClientSubmitTime when original message has not been sent yet

[bbottema]

Copied from bbottema/simple-java-mail#243

While investigating bbottema/outlook-message-parser#23 we found an issue with the OutlookMessage.getClientSubmitTime() method.

java.lang.NullPointerException
	at org.simplejavamail.outlookmessageparser.model.OutlookMessage.getClientSubmitTime(OutlookMessage.java:849)
	at org.simplejavamail.internal.outlooksupport.converter.OutlookEmailConverter.buildEmailFromOutlookMessage(OutlookEmailConverter.java:73)

	at org.simplejavamail.converter.EmailConverter.outlookMsgToEmail(EmailConverter.java:209)
	at org.simplejavamail.converter.EmailConverter.outlookMsgToEmail(EmailConverter.java:201)

The issue is present with the following test emails from the outlook-message-parser.

• tst_unicode.msg
• unsent draft.msg
• chinese message.msg
• forward with attachments and embedded images.msg
• the nested mail from 'nested simple mail.msg'

Released in 1.7.1

Seems like this created another issue:
This is from the tst_unicode.msg

Second thing, I don't know if this might be a seperate issue:
Using the unsent draft.msg, the sender looks like this:

This is from the tst_unicode.msg

How do I reproduce this, @Faelean?

I'll have a look, thanks for the heads up. Quick question, this worked for you previously or you just noticed it now?

I haven't change anything in my code, the two mails creating issues are the same as before. I haven't seen this issue because of the NullPointer.

[Faelean]

Sorry I missunderstood, I commented here because you 'moved' the issue in Simple Java Mail here, the original call is EmailConverter.outlookMsgToEmail(stream) from Simple Java Mail.

[bbottema]

@Faelean as for the IllegalArgumentException, please refer to #26 (fix released in 1.7.2).

[bbottema]

As for the other issue, I suspect this is an Outlook version problem where the properties work differently. This is an email that doesn't have a sent-address (yet), but the property for it is still encoded with a garbage value.

I'm not sure how to handle this yet.

[bbottema]

@Faelean as for garbage sender issue, please refer to #27 (fix released in 1.7.3).

@Faelean, Simple Java Mail now uses 1.7.3 in release 6.0.1
