Subject: mail headers: what's allowable?
Date: 25 Feb 1999 12:54:05 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <yqkk678qqshu.fsf@nd.edu> (raw)

Hi,

After seeing mail headers like 

X-Now-Reading: Italo Calvinos _Usynlige byer_

I am led to the questions: What is allowable for a mail header?  What
is the syntax?  For example, how about

X-Spook: Peking CIA Waco, Texas Semtex Ft. Bragg radar Honduras
Soviet strategic explosion genetic cryptographic Panama South
Africa assassination

as produced by 'M-x spook'?

I suspect that having entries longer than one line is bad, but can
someone confirm this?
