Hihi, "simply" this, "simply" that - clearly, I didn't know about
that function. But thanks, that's a huge improvement!

But, the prefix - rfc822 - and the help section

    "This function obeys RFC822."

- why did they think this to be so important, they actually filed
a RFC, and not only that, the implementers (the writers of
`simple.el') found it equally important, so they even put it as a
prefix in the function *name*?

Can I browse those RFCs somehow from Emacs?

Does the numbering follow some system (like "e-mail stuff between
700 and 900") or is it just a unique identifier?
