Re: How to read an rfc spec

Hi everyone
It cost nothing to be polite and only a few seconds to be helpful. I was myself looking at RFC822 a few days ago to try to figure out what headers should be in an email message I bounce with my Perl re-wtite script from a procmail recipe. Secret formats and being generally unhelpful are a M$ trait, not to be cloned.

This question is both irrelevant to the Perl language and very lazy.
RFC2822 is a specification for Internet text messages, and itself

1.2.2. Syntactic notation

This standard uses the Augmented Backus-Naur Form (ABNF) notation
specified in [RFC2234] for the formal definitions of the syntax of
messages.

Yes, I read that. I was just hoping someone might translate a line or
two gratis.
Forgot I was in a perl group. Thanks for the advice.
