Title : "Son of 1036": News Article Format and Transmission
Author(s) : H. Spencer
Filename : draft-spencer-usefor-son-of-1036-00.txt
Pages : 91
Date : 2009-5-3
By the early 1990s it had become clear that RFC 1036, the then
specification for the Interchange of USENET Messages, was badly in
need of repair. This "INTERNET DRAFT to be", though never formally
published at that time, was widely circulated and became the de facto standard for implementors of News Servers and User Agents, rapidly
acquiring the nickname "Son of 1036". Indeed, under that name, it
could fairly be described as the best-known Internet Draft (n)ever
published, and it formed the starting point for the recently adopted
Proposed Standards for Netnews.
It is being published now in order to provide the Historical
Background out of which those standards have grown. Present-day
implementors should be aware that it is NOT NOW APPROPRIATE for use
in current implementations.
