INTERNET-DRAFT Charles H. Lindsey Usenet Format Working Group University of Manchester April 2001
6.1. Reply-To The Reply-To header specifies a reply address(es) to be used for personal replies for the author(s) of the article when this is different from the author's address(es) given in the From header. The content syntax makes use of syntax defined in [MESSFOR], but subject to the revised definition of local-part given in section 5.2. Reply-To-content = From-content ; see 5.2 In the absence of Reply-To, the reply address(es) is the address(es) in the From header. For this reason a Reply-To SHOULD NOT be included if it just duplicates the From header. NOTE: Use of a Reply-To header is preferable to including a similar request in the article body, because reply agents can take account of Reply-To automatically. An address of "<>" in the Reply-To header MAY be used to indicate that the poster does not wish to recieve email replies.[Previous Up Next]
