|
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,

Abstract
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
An Internet message can have several reply addresses. After gating
|
|
to FidoNet, the recipient is only presented with one of the reply
|
|
addresses. The others are lost. This is a suggestion for an
|
|
additional kludge to FSC-0035 to change that.
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Scope
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
This standard is specified for FTN netmail messages sent by a
|
|
FidoNet-to-Internet gateway to a recipient. Message editors will
|
|
have to support this to allow the user to select the reply address
|
|
to use.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Background
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
An Internet message has three headers to indicate where to send a
|
|
reply. These are, in order of priority, Reply-To:, Sender: and
|
|
From:. When a message is distributed by a mailing list, then one of
|
|
the headers could contain the e-mail address of the poster and one
|
|
of the other headers the address of the mailing list.
|
|
|
|
When the message is gated to FidoNet, the gateway currently selects
|
|
of the reply addresses and creates the message so that a reply will
|
|
return at the gateway and sent to this one address. The other
|
|
addresses are lost.
|
|
|
|
The FSC-0035 kludges REPLYTO and REPLYADDR allow for one return
|
|
address only. This is a proposal for an additional kludge inserted
|
|
by the gateway to specify an addtional reply address. The message
|
|
editor used by the recipient will present a list of all reply
|
|
addresses and allows the user to select the appropriate address.
|
|
|
|
This way, the user can send a message back to the mailing list (for
|
|
distribution), or to the e-mail address of the poster only.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Format
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
Following the REPLYTO and REPLYADDR kludges, one or more kludges
|
|
with the name REPLYALSO can be inserted, each listing one possible
|
|
reply address.
|
|
|
|
@REPLYALSO <e-mail address>
|
|
|
|
Where <e-mail address> is in the form of
|
|
|
|
ramon@wsd.wline.se
|
|
or
|
|
wsd.wline.se!ramon
|
|
|
|
Each line MUST contain one address only.
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. Implementation notes
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
Gateways supporting the REPLYALSO kludge MUST put the the reply
|
|
address with the highest priority in the REPLYADDR kludge. The order
|
|
of priority is Reply-To:, Sender: and From: header. The other
|
|
addresses may be listed in any priority.
