The Use of URLs as Meta-Syntax for Core Mail List Commands and their Transport through Message Header Fields
RFC 2369, “The Use of URLs as Meta-Syntax for Core Mail List Commands and their Transport through Message Header Fields”, is a Proposed Standard document published in July 1998 by G. Neufeld, J. Baer. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The mailing list command specification header fields are a set of structured fields to be added to email messages sent by email distribution lists. By including these header fields, list servers can make it possible for mail clients to provide automated tools for users to perform list functions. This could take the form of a menu item, push button, or other user interface element. The intent is to simplify the user experience, providing a common interface to the often cryptic and varied mailing list manager commands. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
