Description

I save an email with no body text

(1) by dragging it from Mac Mail so that an .eml file is created
(2) by using 'Save As' in Mac Mail so that a .txt file is created

I then feed the files to Tika Server with the following command

curl -T filename http://localhost:9998/detect/stream

In case (1) the response is text/plain, while in case (2) the response is message/rfc822. This is strange, since (1) includes the full raw header, while (2) only includes a very abbreviated header.
