Strange! RFC822 is still uptodate according to RFC1920. Excerpt:
message = fields *( CRLF *text ) ; Everything after
; first null line
; is message body
fields = dates ; Creation time,
source ; author id & one
1*destination ; address required
*optional-field ; others optional
destination = "To" ":" 1#address ; Primary
/ "Resent-To" ":" 1#address
/ "cc" ":" 1#address ; Secondary
/ "Resent-cc" ":" 1#address
/ "bcc" ":" #address ; Blind carbon
/ "Resent-bcc" ":" #address
Obviously the destination is required.
How else could it have been sent to gnu-win32?
Note that RFC822 doesn't mention "Apperantly-To:" at all!
I can't easily grep thru all RFCs; so where is "Apperantly-To:" defined?
