## 6.1 RFC Headers in FTN Messages

FIDOGATE's `ftn2rfc` supports the following RFC headers at the start of an FTN message. RFC headers must be the first text lines, max. 3 empty lines before the RFC headers are allowed. Only one header line of each type is allowed.

`From: address`
  Sets From header line. If set and the `areas` flag `-g` is on, messages will not be gated, because they are considered comming from another FTN-RFC gateway.

`Reply-To: address`
  Sets Reply-To header line.

`To: address`
  Sets To header line.

`Cc: address`
  Sets Cc header line.

`Bcc: address`
  Sets Bcc header line.

`Newsgroups: groups`
  Sets Newsgroups header line. NOT YET IMPLEMENTED.

`Sender: address`
  Sets Sender header line. NOT YET IMPLEMENTED.

`Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit | 8bit | quoted-printable`
  Sets content encoding type, overriding the default configured in `fidogate.conf` (`NetMail8bit`, `NetMailQuotedPrintable`) or `areas` (`-8`, `-Q`).

`ftn2rfc` sends mail to all addresses listed in To, Cc, and Bcc. It support the RFC1036 standard address formats:

    user@do.main
    user@do.main (Real Name)
    Real Name <user@do.main>

Multiple addresses can be separated by a `,`.

## 6.2 X Headers in RFC Messages

FIDOGATE's `rfc2ftn` supports the following X headers in RFC messages:

`X-Comment-To: name`
  Use for the recipient's name in news articles.

`X-Flags: flags`
  `c`
    Message is crash.
  `p`
    Message is private (default for mail).
  `h`
    Message is hold.
  `f`
    Subject contains file attachment name.
  `r`
    Sets return receipt request.
  `m`
    Generates a FTN style `^MSGID`, i.e. `^AMSGID:` Z:N/F.P 1234abcd. In addition, no `^AREPLY` kludge is generated. THIS FLAG IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR NORMAL OPERATION!!!
  `n`
    Do not generate a From line, and the `^AREPLYADDR`, `REPLYTO` kludges.
