"Copied from RFC 822" is likely a part of the answer, you can find some fresh #-magic in 2822upd chapter 4 (obsolete syntax) for some RFC 822 list constructs not yet covered by RFC 2822. >> I'm curious about the history if anyone knows it. RFC 2068 is older than RFC 2234/4234/5234, the #-construct is an attractive shorthand when you are not aware of the details. Of course I'm only guessing. Frank
