In examining the syntax of id-spec in draft-levinson-cid-01 I considered substituting host for the existing hostname. I.e., changing the present syntax from id-spec := local-part "@" hostname to id-spec' := local-part "@" host where (from rfc 1738) host := hostname | hostnumbmer and hostnumber := digits "." digits "." digits "." digits However, converting id-spec' into a message-ID (content-ID) becomes problematical. Rfc 822 requires, I think, that a message-ID containing a host's IP address (hostnumber) have the form "[" digits "." digits "." digits "." digits"]" Is this reading of rfc822 correct or should id-spec be local-part@host. Thanks.../Ed
