Software that handles electronic mailing list messages (servers and
user agents) needs a way to reliably identify messages that belong to
a particular mailing list. With the advent of list header fields, it
has become even more important to provide a unique identifier for a
mailing list regardless of the particular host that runs the mailing
list manager at any given time.
The List-Id header field provides a standard location for such an
identifier. In addition, a namespace for mailing list identifiers
based on fully qualified domain names is described. This namespace
is intended to guarantee uniqueness for list owners who require it,
while allowing for a less rigorous namespace for experimental and
personal use.
By including the List-Id field, mailing list managers can make it
easier for mail user agents to provide automated tools for users to
perform mailing list functions. The mailing list identifier can
serve as a key for automated processing tasks. The List-Sequence
header field provides a standard location for identifying the
sequence position of an individual message for a mailing list.
