[New-bugs-announce] [issue13955] email: RFC 2822 has been obsoleted by RFC 5322

[Samuel Bronson]

New submission from Samuel Bronson <naesten at gmail.com>:

As you can see by looking at <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2822> or <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5322>, RFC 2822 has been obsoleted by RFC 5322.

It would probably be a good idea to update the email package to support it, if in fact anything needs changing, and to mention/link to the new RFC in the documentation.

(It would probably *not* be a good idea to stop mentioning RFC 2822, though, since that's rather more well known, and the number is a bit more memorable for those who've heard of RFC 822. I'm actually a bit surprised the new one didn't get numbered 5822...)
