A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 6854 Title: Update to Internet Message Format to Allow Group Syntax in the "From:" and "Sender:" Header Fields Author: B. Leiba Status: Standards Track Stream: IETF Date: March 2013 Mailbox: barryleiba@computer.org Pages: 9 Characters: 20190 Updates: RFC5322 I-D Tag: draft-leiba-5322upd-from-group-09.txt URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6854.txt The Internet Message Format (RFC 5322) allows "group" syntax in some email header fields, such as "To:" and "CC:", but not in "From:" or "Sender:". This document updates RFC 5322 to relax that restriction, allowing group syntax in those latter fields, as well as in "Resent-From:" and "Resent-Sender:", in certain situations. This is now a Proposed Standard. STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the Internet community,and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the Internet Official Protocol Standards (STD 1) for the standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
