Problems with parsing email headers

I'm in the process of replacing my home-grown header parser with the Chilkat plugin and got some issues from my collected cabinet of email horrors:

1. The following subject most likely isn't legal.

   Subject: Nie mehr kalte Füße -

Beheizte Hausschuhe jetzt 60

% reduziert - Restposten -

    "Nur noch 4,95 Euro - Solange "

der Vorrat reicht

Oddly the result is "Nie mehr kalte F" and the rest is missing.

1. I've got a mail where the mail body is in content-disposition:

   Return-path: <bounces@cannon.fwdto.com> Envelope-to: xxx@yyy.com Delivery-date: Fri, 03 Jun 2005 10:02:31 +0100 Received: from mltk3.mailtrack.com ([195.68.228.215]) by mailcluster2.yyy.com with esmtp (Exim 4.34) id 1De84V-0006Bv-Nf for xxx@yyy.com; Fri, 03 Jun 2005 10:02:31 +0100 Message-Id: <3bsvom$7o1b1@ironport.mailtrack.com> Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: MIME::Lite 2.117 (F2.72; T1.13; A1.55; B3.01; Q3.01) X-Mailer: Postman Email Date: Wed, 25 May 2005 17:16:50 UT Subject: CEWSS & My Canon To: xxx@yyy.com Lines: 42

   Dear Customer,

I could parse this myself but the value of the header doesn't have the returns anymore. Which is quite correct except for this lovely mail here.

The code is quite simple:

    Dim email As New Chilkat.Email
    email.PreferredCharset = "iso-8859-1"
    If not email.SetFromMimeText(OriginalHeader) Then
            Globals.theErrorLog.DialogErrorProceed(kErrorParse + email.LastErrorText)
            Globals.stopArchiving = True
    end If

    'loop through the header fields
    For currentHeader as Integer = 0 To email.NumHeaderFields - 1
            doTheParsing(email.GetHeaderFieldName(currentHeader), email.GetHeaderFieldValue(currentHeader))
    Next

In doTheParsing I fish out the individual header values.

As usual: Xojo 2016r4, Chilkat from July 2016, Mac OS 10.11.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen/Regards
