A possible -.i ctime -format date is: -.(l -Tue Dec 1 10:58:23 1981 -.)l -The -.i ctime -date may be optionally followed by a single space and a -time zone indication, which -should be three capital letters, such as PDT. -.pp -Following the -.i from -line are zero or more -.i "header field" -lines. -Each header field line is of the form: -.(l -name: information -.)l -.i Name -can be anything, but only certain header fields are recognized as -having any meaning. The recognized header fields are: -.i article-id , -.i bcc , -.i cc , -.i from , -.i reply-to , -.i sender , -.i subject , -and -.i to . -Other header fields are also significant to other systems; see, -for example, the current Arpanet message standard for much more -information on this topic. -A header field can be continued onto following lines by making the -first character on the following line a space or tab character. -.pp -If any headers are present, they must be followed by a blank line. -The part that follows is called the -.i body -of the message, and must be ASCII text, not containing null characters. -Each line in the message body must be no longer than 512 characters and -terminated with an ASCII newline character. -If binary data must be passed through the mail system, it is suggested -that this data be encoded in a system which encodes six bits into -a printable character (i.e.: uuencode). -For example, one could use the upper and lower case letters, the digits, -and the characters comma and period to make up the 64 characters. -Then, one can send a 16-bit binary number -as three characters. These characters should be packed into lines, -preferably lines about 70 characters long as long lines are transmitted -more efficiently. -.pp -The message delivery system always adds a blank line to the end of -each message. This blank line must not be deleted. -.pp -The UUCP message delivery system sometimes adds a blank line to -the end of a message each time it is forwarded through a machine. -.pp -It should be noted that some network transport protocols enforce -limits to the lengths of messages. |
