Abstract:
Although Internet mail formats have been precisely defined since the
1970s, authoring and handling software often show only mild
conformance to the specifications. The malformed messages that
result are non-standard. Nonetheless, decades of experience has
shown that handling with some tolerance the malformations that result
is often an acceptable approach, and is better than rejecting the
messages outright as nonconformant. This document includes a
collection of the best advice available regarding a variety of common
malformed mail situations, to be used as implementation guidance.
