Scott: For my own information, a question... I referenced RFC1521 because it seemed a reasonable starting place. Is it obsoleted in the sense that the descriptions are no longer valid at all or that they have been enhanced, expanded, etc.? I've only skimmed later RFCs once I realized how much 're-inventing the wheel' was involved. Obviously, to actually create an e-mail system that fully supports MIME, etc., requires attention to the details, including 'MAY', 'SHOULD' and 'MUST' for example. But how much attention to detail is needed otherwise, beyond some terminology and overall concepts? Would RFC1521 be misleading in that case? Tom Liotta midrange-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxx wrote: > 3.
