Perhaps someone knows what the "Founders" (of email) conceptual models were for a "message" (memo?) For instance, although I obviously do not understand the "original intent" behind the "group of mailboxes" construct, I have long wondered why the following is not valid: From: ACME Chief Officers: Alice <c...@acme.example.com>, Bob <c...@acme.example.com>; There must have been *some* concept of email that dictated that a message could be sent *to* a group but not *from* one! -- Bill McQuillan <mcqui...@pobox.com> _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
