The IESG has approved the Internet-Draft 'List-Id: A Structured Field and Namespace for the Identification of Mailing Lists' <draft-chandhok-listid-04.txt> as a Proposed Standard. This has been reviewed in the IETF but is not the product of an IETF Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Patrik Faltstrom and Keith Moore. Technical Summary Software that handles electronic mailing list messages (servers and user agents) needs a way to reliably identify messages that belong to a particular mailing list. The List-Id header provides a standard location for such an identifier. Working Group Summary There were some discussion regarding the format of the header itself, and those ended up in version -03 of the draft which was out for last call. Version -04 was the result of the last call. Protocol Quality The spec was reviewed by Patrik Faltstrom.
