Yes (to both of the comments).
Here's the standards process angle:
1. RFC 3934 was obsoleted.
2. Section 3 of RFC 9245 was obsoleted.
3. The second paragraph of Section 4 of RFC 9245 was obsoleted.
4. There is a definition of "IETF Documents" in Section 1.f
of RFC 5378.
I don't see how (4) would be applicable to an email. The question
then is whether Items (1), (2) or (3) could be applied. There is a
definition of the word "obsolete" at
https://www.britannica.com/dictionary/obsolete
