Is the problem that the dfdl:terminator '%CR;%LF;' for the end of the header record is firing prematurely when it encounters the CRLF in the data?
Exactly.
I would model the data as unbounded repeating records, and use a discriminator to distinguish the repeats from the next header.
Uh, could you repeat that in English? Maybe with a small example? I freely admit that I don’t understand what you just said. Thanks!

James Is the problem that the dfdl:terminator '%CR;%LF;' for the end of the header record is firing prematurely when it encounters the CRLF in the data? If so then I'm not sure that DFDL can ignore the extra %CR;%LF; without using an escape scheme - but there isn't an escape scheme to use. I would model the data as unbounded repeating records, and use a discriminator to distinguish the repeats from the next header.

Sent by: dfdl-wg-bounces@ogf.org<mailto:dfdl-wg-bounces@ogf.org> ________________________________ Long IMF headers, such as Received, can be wrapped onto the next line by using a CRLF and then a space. This example has 3 such wrappings: Received: from smtpksrv1.mitre.org (localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1]) by localhost (Postfix) via Exchange Front-End Server webmail.afmc.af.mil ([131.28.34.85]) with SMTP id 0A8791F116E for <jgarriss@mitre.org<mailto:jgarriss@mitre.org>>; Tue, 4 Jun 2013 14:03:24 -0400 (EDT) How do I get DFDL to ignore these wrappings? For most of the header, it’s not an issue, because I can use a lengthPattern to lookahead to the ; before the date starts. But once the date starts, I have no way of knowing when it ends, so I need to ignore any CRLF with a space.
