But its not directly related to MAIL - its for scheduling automatic
jobs, and the above case "Often Periodic." That has nothing to do
with mail per see or the Mail AUTHOR as the MLM I-D sentence implies:
The author can be a human using an MUA (Mail
User Agent) or a common system utility such as "cron", etc.
This is not correct. The author is not a "common system utility" or
anything close to the scheduling tool unless you are saying the
RFC5322 author is also the OS logged in username which "cron" uses as
a default as an environment variable for any mail scripting events.
