Description

When using the new ConsumeIMAP and ConsumePOP3 processors with a Microsoft Exchange 2013 IMAP server the flowfiles which are produced are simple HTML messages with no RFC2822 headers. I have also tried setting Exchange to force emails to be text only, sadly only the body with some Content-Type: fields are outputed.

This mean that ExtractEmailHeaders and ExtractEmailAttachments cannot be used directly with these processors.

In Python, I can force Exchange to output the headers by specify RFC822 in the connection settings:

Is a similar option available for the spring mail framework?
