1153. But you should read MIME (RFC 1341) instead; MIME's "multipart/digest"
format is vastly superior, if you've got any choice in the matter at all,
and is the way things are likely to go in the future.
Be warned, also, that digest format evolved informally, and you should not
count on existing digests observing even 1153.
