Today's episode of "A few minutes (wasted) with Andy Rooney Tannenbaum:"

People blather and bitch until their faces turn blue about RFC733; what
they are usually trying to say is that they want a blank line between
the message header and the message body and, if they are even more
picky, that they want the header fields to have colons after the header
keywords.  RFC733 is more than that, there's date formats and name
formats and much much more, but, especially when people are complaining
about the UNIX mailers, they are usually complaining about the From
field without the colon and the lack of a blank line between the
message header and body.
