It is not incorrect, it is in the wrong paragraph. Indeed, paragraph 11 starts with "This is" as a want to be a continuation of #10. >> The rest of paragraph 10 and paragraph 11 (for senders) are confusing >> and need additional rewording, IMHO. > > Please provide substitute text. Experience suggests use of ARF is advisable in most contexts. Automated recipient systems can handle abuse reports sent in ARF format at least as well as any other format such as plain text, with or without a copy of the message attached. That holds even for systems that didn't ask for ARF format reports, provided that reports are generated with use by recipients not using automated ARF parsing in mind. Anyone sending unsolicited reports in ARF format can legitimately presume that recipients will only be able to access the human readable (first, text/plain) part of it, and MAY include all information needed also in this part. Further, they MAY ensure that the report is readable when viewed as plain text, to give low-end ticketing systems as much assistance as possible. >> Non-actionable reports could still be useful for collecting >> statistics, whose evaluation may eventually result in a better >> sending.
