Abstract:
Internet mail defines the From: field to indicate the author of the
message's content and the Sender: field to indicate who initially
handled the message. The Sender: field is optional, if it has the
same information as the From: field. That is, when the Sender: field
is absent, the From: field has conflated semantics, as both a
handling identifier and a content creator identifier. This was not a
problem, until development of stringent protections on use of the
From: field. It has prompted Mediators, such as mailing lists, to
modify the From: field, to circumvent mail rejection caused by those
protections.
This affects end-to-end behavior of email, between the author and the
final recipients, because mail from the same author is not treated
the same, depending on what path it followed. In effect, the From:
field has become dominated by its role as a handling identifier. The
current specification augments the current use of the From: field, by
specifying the Author: field, which identifies the original author of
the message and is not subject to modification by Mediators.
Please note that it may take a couple of minutes from the time of submission
until the htmlized version and diff are available at tools.ietf.org.
