- 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.
