6.5. Summary

6.5.  Summary
   The Summary header is a short phrase summarizing the article's
   content.

      Summary-content     = 1*( [FWS] utext )

   The summary should be terse. Authors Ought to avoid trying to cram
   their entire article into the headers; even the simplest query
   usually benefits from a sentence or two of elaboration and context,
   and not all reading agents display all headers. On the other hand the
   summary should give more detail than the Subject.
