Enum EmailContentDefect

Namespace

MailFathom.Application.EmailContent.Repair

Assembly

MailFathom.Application.dll

Names what is wrong with the locally stored content of one email.

public enum EmailContentDefect

Fields

ByteLengthMismatch = 1

The stored payload is not as long as the length recorded beside it when it was written.

HashMismatch = 2

The stored payload does not hash to the digest recorded beside it when it was written.

Missing = 0

The email is recorded as having its content stored, and no content is stored for it.

Unreadable = 3

The stored payload matches what was recorded for it and still yields no message a reader can render.

Remarks

The four values stay distinct because they say different things to whoever repairs them: three of them mean the stored bytes have to be fetched again, while Unreadable means bytes that arrived intact cannot be parsed, which a second fetch of the same message may well reproduce. Collapsing them into one "broken" marker would hide a message that will never become readable behind a queue of ones that will.
