Status of this document
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
This document is a Fidonet Standards Proposal (FSP).
|
|
|
|
This document specifies an optional Fidonet standard protocol for
|
|
the Fidonet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for
|
|
improvements.
|
|
|
|
This document is released to the public domain, and may be used,
|
|
copied or modified for any purpose whatever.

|
|
|
|
|
Abstract
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
Private messages within FidoNet only have one recipient address.
|
|
Multiple copies of the same message have to be sent to a FidoNet-
|
|
to-Internet gateway in order to address multiple recipients. This is
|
|
a proposal to indicate the addresses of multiple recipients in the
|
|
body of the message sent to the gateway.
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Scope
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
This standard is specified for FTN netmail messages sent to a
|
|
FidoNet-to-Internet gateway. Users are able to add this information
|
|
manually, although message editors could support this and make it
|
|
transparent to the user.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Background
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
Three types of recipient addresses can be specified on the Internet
|
|
and are reflected in this suggestion: To, Cc and Bcc. "To" are the
|
|
primary recipient(s) of the message. "Cc" is short for Carbon Copy
|
|
and lists the recipients that are intended to receive the message as
|
|
"informational". The last option "Bcc" is short for Blind Carbon
|
|
Copy. Recipients lists as Bcc recipients will not show up in the
|
|
headers of the Internet message, but get a copy anyway.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Format
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
Immediately following the kludge lines, one or more of the following
|
|
lines can be inserted in the message. If a To: line is present, then
|
|
these lines follow the To: line.
|
|
|
|
GW-To: <e-mail address>[,<e-mail address>[...]]
|
|
GW-Cc: <e-mail address>[,<e-mail address>[...]]
|
|
GW-Bcc: <e-mail address>[,<e-mail address>[...]]
|
|
|
|
Where <e-mail address> is in the form of
|
|
|
|
ramon@wsd.wline.se
|
|
or
|
|
wsd.wline.se!ramon
|
|
|
|
Multiple addresses can be specified on the same line, separated by a
|
|
comma with optionally spaces around the comma. There is no limit
|
|
regarding the length of the line. The line must be terminated by a
|
|
single carriage return.
|
|
|
|
The GW-To: line replaces the To: lines.
|
|
|
|
The reason for GW-Cc is that "Cc:" by itself is expanded by some
|
|
editors and used to generate multiple copies of a message.
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. Implementation notes for gateways
|
|
------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Gateways supporting this format add the e-mail addresses mentioned
|
|
in any of these three headers to the envelope file and create on
|
|
outbound (probably UUCP or SMTP) body text message. Rules for the
|
|
maximum length of envelope files (if any) apply.
|
|
|
|
The headers section of the RFC822 message will list the e-mail
|
|
addresses under the To: and Cc: headers. A Bcc: header must not be
|
|
added!
