That's why RFCs aren't/shouldn't be consider hard standards. But, anyway, see RFCs 2821 and 5321 as well, noting such entries in the headers as obsoleted-by and updated-by, and remember, "Request For Comments", even though many news sources insist that these things must be considered standards. (I know that's a lot to read and remember in one sitting. I don't remember/understand it all, myself, either.) (But in this case, absolutely requiring a response would be building a DOS and potential privacy vulnerability into the message infrastructure. The RFCs really should be stored with a summary of relevant comments.) -- Joel Rees Be careful where you see conspiracy.
