- A typical e-mail message, as above, consists of
a header, blank line, and body .
- Each line of the header begins with a keyword
and a colon.
- Each header is required to have a "To:" line.
- "New" header keywords don't cause a problem to
"old" e-mail software because the software is written to
just "pass through" header lines it does not understand. "New"
header lines can be used by "new" e-mail software to help add "new"
functionality.
