Hello,
I am interested in learning more about how to decipher e-mail
headers and was wondering if there is any documentation available
on an anonymous ftp site somewhere. As an example, I included
the following line extracted from a recent mail message I received:
<921217155244.22202e59@EVAX0.ENG.FSU.EDU>
I know that 921217 is the date and that 155244 is the time the message
was sent/received, but I don't know what .22202e59 means (given - I
knew the name of the sender from the other header information that was
excluded). If there is some documentation or books around that
describe this example as well as other aspects of e-mail and e-mail
headers, I would be glad to find out how to access it. Thanks in
advance.
