Somebody said this on a list I'm subscribed to:
>RFC 822 is a NETWORK standard, and NOTE is an IBM travesty.  We
>made a design descision not to support NOTEs at all.  You can
>either use real electronic mail (RFC 822) or send plain files (the

What is the difference between "RFC 822" and IBM NOTE? Are there manuals
describing both? (I have barely any idea of what the difference is.)

                                            Thanks in advance,
