Hey Valdis, nice to hear from you....


(Feel free to cite RFC chapter-and-verse if you disagree, and note that
'Informational' RFCs are never standards. ;)

Yeah, a quick check shows it's mentioned in MIME RFC-1341 (June 1992), but
certainly going back to "Proposed standard for message encapsulation"
RFC-934 (January 1985) at the very least. I seem to remember that Marshall
or Stef or somebody used it for digest sections too, but don't remember the
RFC number or a good search term.

Still, (relevance here) a convention observed for patches.
