5. Security Considerations

Care needs to be taken when displaying messages on a terminal or terminal emulator. Powerful terminals may act on escape sequences and other combinations of US-ASCII control characters with a variety of consequences. They can remap the keyboard or permit other modifications to the terminal that could lead to denial of service or even damaged data. They can trigger (sometimes programmable)
Top   ToC   RFC5322 - Page 39
   answerback messages that can allow a message to cause commands to be
   issued on the recipient's behalf.  They can also affect the operation
   of terminal attached devices such as printers.  Message viewers may
   wish to strip potentially dangerous terminal escape sequences from
   the message prior to display.  However, other escape sequences appear
   in messages for useful purposes (cf. [ISO.2022.1994], [RFC2045],
   [RFC2046], [RFC2047], [RFC2049], [RFC4288], [RFC4289]) and therefore
   should not be stripped indiscriminately.

   Transmission of non-text objects in messages raises additional
   security issues.  These issues are discussed in [RFC2045], [RFC2046],
   [RFC2047], [RFC2049], [RFC4288], and [RFC4289].

   Many implementations use the "Bcc:" (blind carbon copy) field,
   described in section 3.6.3, to facilitate sending messages to
   recipients without revealing the addresses of one or more of the
   addressees to the other recipients.  Mishandling this use of "Bcc:"
   may disclose confidential information that could eventually lead to
   security problems through knowledge of even the existence of a
   particular mail address.  For example, if using the first method
   described in section 3.6.3, where the "Bcc:" line is removed from the
   message, blind recipients have no explicit indication that they have
   been sent a blind copy, except insofar as their address does not
   appear in the header section of a message.  Because of this, one of
   the blind addressees could potentially send a reply to all of the
   shown recipients and accidentally reveal that the message went to the
   blind recipient.  When the second method from section 3.6.3 is used,
   the blind recipient's address appears in the "Bcc:" field of a
   separate copy of the message.  If the "Bcc:" field sent contains all
   of the blind addressees, all of the "Bcc:" recipients will be seen by
   each "Bcc:" recipient.  Even if a separate message is sent to each
   "Bcc:" recipient with only the individual's address, implementations
   still need to be careful to process replies to the message as per
   section 3.6.3 so as not to accidentally reveal the blind recipient to
   other recipients.

6. IANA Considerations

Appendix A. Example Messages

This section presents a selection of messages. These are intended to assist in the implementation of this specification, but should not be taken as normative; that is to say, although the examples in this section were carefully reviewed, if there happens to be a conflict between these examples and the syntax described in sections 3 and 4 of this document, the syntax in those sections is to be taken as correct. In the text version of this document, messages in this section are delimited between lines of "----". The "----" lines are not part of the message itself.
Top   ToC   RFC5322 - Page 44

Appendix A.1. Addressing Examples

The following are examples of messages that might be sent between two individuals.

Appendix A.1.1. A Message from One Person to Another with Simple Addressing

This could be called a canonical message. It has a single author, John Doe, a single recipient, Mary Smith, a subject, the date, a message identifier, and a textual message in the body. ---- From: John Doe <jdoe@machine.example> To: Mary Smith <mary@example.net> Subject: Saying Hello Date: Fri, 21 Nov 1997 09:55:06 -0600 Message-ID: <1234@local.machine.example> This is a message just to say hello. So, "Hello". ---- If John's secretary Michael actually sent the message, even though John was the author and replies to this message should go back to him, the sender field would be used: ---- From: John Doe <jdoe@machine.example> Sender: Michael Jones <mjones@machine.example> To: Mary Smith <mary@example.net> Subject: Saying Hello Date: Fri, 21 Nov 1997 09:55:06 -0600 Message-ID: <1234@local.machine.example> This is a message just to say hello. So, "Hello". ----
Top   ToC   RFC5322 - Page 45

Appendix A.1.2. Different Types of Mailboxes

This message includes multiple addresses in the destination fields and also uses several different forms of addresses. ---- From: "Joe Q. Public" <john.q.public@example.com> To: Mary Smith <mary@x.test>, jdoe@example.org, Who? <one@y.test> Cc: <boss@nil.test>, "Giant; \"Big\" Box" <sysservices@example.net> Date: Tue, 1 Jul 2003 10:52:37 +0200 Message-ID: <5678.21-Nov-1997@example.com> Hi everyone. ---- Note that the display names for Joe Q. Public and Giant; "Big" Box needed to be enclosed in double-quotes because the former contains the period and the latter contains both semicolon and double-quote characters (the double-quote characters appearing as quoted-pair constructs). Conversely, the display name for Who? could appear without them because the question mark is legal in an atom. Notice also that jdoe@example.org and boss@nil.test have no display names associated with them at all, and jdoe@example.org uses the simpler address form without the angle brackets.

Appendix A.1.3. Group Addresses

---- From: Pete <pete@silly.example> To: A Group:Ed Jones <c@a.test>,joe@where.test,John <jdoe@one.test>; Cc: Undisclosed recipients:; Date: Thu, 13 Feb 1969 23:32:54 -0330 Message-ID: <testabcd.1234@silly.example> Testing. ---- In this message, the "To:" field has a single group recipient named "A Group", which contains 3 addresses, and a "Cc:" field with an empty group recipient named Undisclosed recipients.
Top   ToC   RFC5322 - Page 46

Appendix A.2. Reply Messages

The following is a series of three messages that make up a conversation thread between John and Mary. John first sends a message to Mary, Mary then replies to John's message, and then John replies to Mary's reply message. Note especially the "Message-ID:", "References:", and "In-Reply-To:" fields in each message. ---- From: John Doe <jdoe@machine.example> To: Mary Smith <mary@example.net> Subject: Saying Hello Date: Fri, 21 Nov 1997 09:55:06 -0600 Message-ID: <1234@local.machine.example> This is a message just to say hello. So, "Hello". ---- When sending replies, the Subject field is often retained, though prepended with "Re: " as described in section 3.6.5. ---- From: Mary Smith <mary@example.net> To: John Doe <jdoe@machine.example> Reply-To: "Mary Smith: Personal Account" <smith@home.example> Subject: Re: Saying Hello Date: Fri, 21 Nov 1997 10:01:10 -0600 Message-ID: <3456@example.net> In-Reply-To: <1234@local.machine.example> References: <1234@local.machine.example> This is a reply to your hello. ---- Note the "Reply-To:" field in the above message. When John replies to Mary's message above, the reply should go to the address in the "Reply-To:" field instead of the address in the "From:" field.
Top   ToC   RFC5322 - Page 47
   ----
   To: "Mary Smith: Personal Account" <smith@home.example>
   From: John Doe <jdoe@machine.example>
   Subject: Re: Saying Hello
   Date: Fri, 21 Nov 1997 11:00:00 -0600
   Message-ID: <abcd.1234@local.machine.test>
   In-Reply-To: <3456@example.net>
   References: <1234@local.machine.example> <3456@example.net>

   This is a reply to your reply.
   ----

Appendix A.3. Resent Messages

Start with the message that has been used as an example several times: ---- From: John Doe <jdoe@machine.example> To: Mary Smith <mary@example.net> Subject: Saying Hello Date: Fri, 21 Nov 1997 09:55:06 -0600 Message-ID: <1234@local.machine.example> This is a message just to say hello. So, "Hello". ---- Say that Mary, upon receiving this message, wishes to send a copy of the message to Jane such that (a) the message would appear to have come straight from John; (b) if Jane replies to the message, the reply should go back to John; and (c) all of the original information, like the date the message was originally sent to Mary, the message identifier, and the original addressee, is preserved. In this case, resent fields are prepended to the message:
Top   ToC   RFC5322 - Page 48
   ----
   Resent-From: Mary Smith <mary@example.net>
   Resent-To: Jane Brown <j-brown@other.example>
   Resent-Date: Mon, 24 Nov 1997 14:22:01 -0800
   Resent-Message-ID: <78910@example.net>
   From: John Doe <jdoe@machine.example>
   To: Mary Smith <mary@example.net>
   Subject: Saying Hello
   Date: Fri, 21 Nov 1997 09:55:06 -0600
   Message-ID: <1234@local.machine.example>

   This is a message just to say hello.
   So, "Hello".
   ----

   If Jane, in turn, wished to resend this message to another person,
   she would prepend her own set of resent header fields to the above
   and send that.  (Note that for brevity, trace fields are not shown.)

Appendix A.4. Messages with Trace Fields

As messages are sent through the transport system as described in [RFC5321], trace fields are prepended to the message. The following is an example of what those trace fields might look like. Note that there is some folding white space in the first one since these lines can be long. ---- Received: from x.y.test by example.net via TCP with ESMTP id ABC12345 for <mary@example.net>; 21 Nov 1997 10:05:43 -0600 Received: from node.example by x.y.test; 21 Nov 1997 10:01:22 -0600 From: John Doe <jdoe@node.example> To: Mary Smith <mary@example.net> Subject: Saying Hello Date: Fri, 21 Nov 1997 09:55:06 -0600 Message-ID: <1234@local.node.example> This is a message just to say hello. So, "Hello". ----
Top   ToC   RFC5322 - Page 49

Appendix A.5. White Space, Comments, and Other Oddities

White space, including folding white space, and comments can be inserted between many of the tokens of fields. Taking the example from A.1.3, white space and comments can be inserted into all of the fields. ---- From: Pete(A nice \) chap) <pete(his account)@silly.test(his host)> To:A Group(Some people) :Chris Jones <c@(Chris's host.)public.example>, joe@example.org, John <jdoe@one.test> (my dear friend); (the end of the group) Cc:(Empty list)(start)Hidden recipients :(nobody(that I know)) ; Date: Thu, 13 Feb 1969 23:32 -0330 (Newfoundland Time) Message-ID: <testabcd.1234@silly.test> Testing. ---- The above example is aesthetically displeasing, but perfectly legal. Note particularly (1) the comments in the "From:" field (including one that has a ")" character appearing as part of a quoted-pair); (2) the white space absent after the ":" in the "To:" field as well as the comment and folding white space after the group name, the special character (".") in the comment in Chris Jones's address, and the folding white space before and after "joe@example.org,"; (3) the multiple and nested comments in the "Cc:" field as well as the comment immediately following the ":" after "Cc"; (4) the folding white space (but no comments except at the end) and the missing seconds in the time of the date field; and (5) the white space before (but not within) the identifier in the "Message-ID:" field.
Top   ToC   RFC5322 - Page 50

Appendix A.6. Obsoleted Forms

The following are examples of obsolete (that is, the "MUST NOT generate") syntactic elements described in section 4 of this document.

Appendix A.6.1. Obsolete Addressing

Note in the example below the lack of quotes around Joe Q. Public, the route that appears in the address for Mary Smith, the two commas that appear in the "To:" field, and the spaces that appear around the "." in the jdoe address. ---- From: Joe Q. Public <john.q.public@example.com> To: Mary Smith <@node.test:mary@example.net>, , jdoe@test . example Date: Tue, 1 Jul 2003 10:52:37 +0200 Message-ID: <5678.21-Nov-1997@example.com> Hi everyone. ----

Appendix A.6.2. Obsolete Dates

The following message uses an obsolete date format, including a non- numeric time zone and a two digit year. Note that although the day- of-week is missing, that is not specific to the obsolete syntax; it is optional in the current syntax as well. ---- From: John Doe <jdoe@machine.example> To: Mary Smith <mary@example.net> Subject: Saying Hello Date: 21 Nov 97 09:55:06 GMT Message-ID: <1234@local.machine.example> This is a message just to say hello. So, "Hello". ----
Top   ToC   RFC5322 - Page 51

Appendix A.6.3. Obsolete White Space and Comments

White space and comments can appear between many more elements than in the current syntax. Also, folding lines that are made up entirely of white space are legal. ---- From : John Doe <jdoe@machine(comment). example> To : Mary Smith __ <mary@example.net> Subject : Saying Hello Date : Fri, 21 Nov 1997 09(comment): 55 : 06 -0600 Message-ID : <1234 @ local(blah) .machine .example> This is a message just to say hello. So, "Hello". ---- Note especially the second line of the "To:" field. It starts with two space characters. (Note that "__" represent blank spaces.) Therefore, it is considered part of the folding, as described in section 4.2. Also, the comments and white space throughout addresses, dates, and message identifiers are all part of the obsolete syntax.

        out of this document.
   15.  Simplified obs-qp.  Fixed and simplified obs-utext (which now
        only appears in the obsolete syntax).  Removed obs-text and obs-
        char, adding obs-body.
   16.  Fixed obsolete date syntax to allow for more (or less) comments
        and white space.
   17.  Fixed all obsolete list syntax (obs-domain-list, obs-mbox-list,
        obs-addr-list, obs-phrase-list, and the newly added obs-group-
