Mail header fields

A Problem Report may contain any mail header field described in the Internet standard RFC-822. However, only the fields which identify the sender and the subject are required by send-pr.

To:
The pre-configured mail address for the Support Site where the PR is to be sent, automatically supplied by send-pr.

Subject:
A terse description of the problem. This field normally contains the same information as the ‘>Synopsis:’ field.

From:
Usually supplied automatically by the originator’s mailer; should contain the originator’s electronic mail address.

Reply-To:
A return address to which electronic replies can be sent; in most cases, the same address as the From: field.
