;;; RFC 822 is the "Standard for the format of ARPA Internet text messages"
;;; -- the document that essentially tells how the fields in email headers
;;; (e.g., the Subject: and To: fields) are formatted. This code is for
2002-09-02 05:24:38 -04:00
;;; parsing these headers.
;;; Here is a pointer to the document:
;;; http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc0822.txt

;;; RFC 822 parsing is useful in other contexts as well -- the HTTP protocol
;;; uses it, and it tends to pop up here and there.
;;;
;;; RFC 822 header syntax has two levels: the general syntax for headers,
;;; and the syntax for specific headers. For example, once you have figured
;;; out which chunk of text is the To: line, there are more rules telling
;;; how to split the To: line up into a list of addresses. Another example:
;;; lines with dates, e.g., the Date: header, have a specific syntax for
;;; the time and date.
;;;
;;; This code currently *only* provides routines for parsing the gross
;;; structure -- splitting the message header into its distinct fields.
;;; It would be nice to provide the finer-detail parsers, too. You do it.
;;; -Olin
;;; A note on line-terminators:
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;;; Line-terminating sequences are always a drag, because there's no agreement
;;; on them -- the Net protocols and DOS use cr/lf; Unix uses lf; the Mac
;;; uses cr. One one hand, you'd like to use the code for all of the above,
;;; on the other, you'd also like to use the code for strict applications
;;; that need definitely not to recognise bare cr's or lf's as terminators.
;;;
;;; RFC 822 requires a cr/lf (carriage-return/line-feed) pair to terminate
;;; lines of text. On the other hand, careful perusal of the text shows up
;;; some ambiguities (there are maybe three or four of these, and I'm too
;;; lazy to write them all down). Furthermore, it is an unfortunate fact
;;; that many Unix apps separate lines of RFC 822 text with simple linefeeds
;;; (e.g., messages kept in /usr/spool/mail). As a result, this code takes a
;;; broad-minded view of line-terminators: lines can be terminated by either
;;; cr/lf or just lf, and either terminating sequence is trimmed.
;;;
;;; If you need stricter parsing, you can pass a read-line procedure
;;; as an extra parameter. This means that you can pass in a procedure
;;; that recognizes only cr/lf's, or only cr's (for a Mac app,
;;; perhaps), and you can determine whether or not the terminators get
;;; trimmed. However, your read-line procedure must indicate the
;;; header-terminating empty line by returning *either* the empty
;;; string or the two-char string cr/lf (or the EOF object).
