This document was orginally at
http://www.worldtalk.com/Standards%20and%20Tech/emailref.shtm
However, the document was first moved elsewhere, and then the domain
went away (Worldtalk was bought by Tumbleweed) so this link has been
broken in various places around the Internet for some time. This page
is intended to rectify that situation.
While the list has not been updated since I left Worldtalk in 1997,
many of the links are quite relevant, and I hope prove useful. If you
haven't been to the Internet Mail
Consortium, I encourage you to do so now. They have a similar
and--probably better-organized--set of links.
