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.
