These traitorous cookies hide in your browser, eagerly waiting to welcome you back like a guilty dog that's just chewed your favorite shoe.

Why Your Email Parser Might Be Flunking: Tackling the UTF-8 BOM Headache
Having trouble with eml files? Meet the superhero emldump.py! It struggled with a pesky BOM (Byte Order Mark) but emerged victorious after a codec upgrade. Now, nothing can stop it from parsing your MIME/eml files with ease!
Hot Take:
When life gives you BOMs, just drop them like they’re hot! Thank goodness for tech wizards like Didier Stevens, who can turn a nasty Byte Order Mark into just another day at the office.
Key Points:
- EML files can sometimes be obfuscated, making them tricky to parse.
- Tools like emldump.py try to defeat these obfuscation tricks.
- Unicode Byte Order Mark (BOM) can interfere with parsing EML files.
- emldump.py was updated to handle BOM by using utf-8-sig codec.
- New version of emldump.py can now parse previously unreadable files.
