A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : The Use of URIs as Meta-Syntax for Core Mail List Commands and their Transport through Message Header Fields Author(s) : S. Moonesamy Filename : draft-moonesamy-rfc2369bis-00.txt Pages : 14 Date : 2011-12-11 The mailing list command specification header fields are a set of structured fields to be added to email messages sent by email distribution lists. Each header field typically contains a URI (usually mailto) locating the relevant information or performing the command directly. The three core header fields described in this document are List-Help, List-Subscribe, and List-Unsubscribe. There are three other header fields described here which, although not as widely applicable, will have utility for a sufficient number of mailing lists to justify their formalization here. These are List-Post, List-Owner and List-Archive. By including these header fields, mailing list managers can make it possible for mail user agents to provide automated tools for users to perform list functions. This could take the form of a menu item, push button, or other user interface element. The intent is to simplify the user experience, providing a common interface to the often cryptic and varied mailing list manager commands.
