Questions tagged [rfc2822]

Standard syntax for text messages sent between computer users, within the framework of "electronic mail" messages.

This RFC replaces RFC822 and has been deprecated in favor of RFC5322.

It should be noted that this standard only specifies a syntax for text messages and does not cover the exchange of multimedia in emails (this being covered by MIME documents [RFC2045, RFC2046, RFC2049]).

It should also be noted that, while emails consist of both an envelop and the content, this RFC does not cover the envelop (see [RFC2821] for discussion on the envelop).
