The mailing list command specification header fields are a set of
structured fields to be added to email messages sent by email
distribution lists.

By including these header fields, list servers can make it possible for
mail clients to provide automated tools for users to perform list
functions. This could take the form of a menu item, push button, or
other user interface element. The intent is to simplify the user
experience, providing a common interface to the often cryptic and varied
mailing list manager commands.  [STANDARDS-TRACK]

Certain text formats, for example Postscript (MIME-Type:

uses the 'Letter' format, while the rest of the world mostly uses the
ISO-standard 'A4' format. This means that documents formatted on one
continent may not be easily printable on another continent. This memo
