Following some links on del.icio.us today, I stumbled across Dan’s Mail Format Site , a site full of backgrounding on email and how it works.

It covers everything from emoticons and RFC 2822 to MIME encoding, lots of stuff on headers and the politics of quoting, including one of my favourite topics, the great top vs bottom posting debate.

It may not be as up-to-date as it could be, but it is still a great resource and a feast of browsing for people who want to learn a bit more about how email works.email, tips, history, emoticons, quoting
