The 'mail6' keyword, like the 'ns*' keywords, are provided by Mozilla for
use by one of Mozilla's main contributors. If any other organisation wants
keywords for their use, then they are welcome to have them. For example
Adobe ('acrobat'), Macromedia ('flash' and 'shockwave'), OEOne ('oeone'),
Real ('realplayer'), and Zope ('zopestudio') all have keywords of their
own. The 'mail*' and 'relnote*' keywords, like some of the others
mentioned above, were created before the popularity of keywords became
apparent, and therefore before prefixes (like 'ns') were added to new
keywords. They should probably be updated or removed, if they are no
longer in use.
