Appendix A -- Collected Grammar

   This appendix contains the complete BNF grammar for all the syntax
   specified by this document.

   By itself, however, this grammar is incomplete.  It refers by name to
   several syntax rules that are defined by RFC 822.  Rather than
   reproduce those definitions here, and risk unintentional differences
   between the two, this document simply refers the reader to RFC 822
   for the remaining definitions. Wherever a term is undefined, it
   refers to the RFC 822 definition.

     boundary := 0*69 bcharsnospace

     bchars := bcharsnospace / " "

     bcharsnospace := DIGIT / ALPHA / "'" / "(" / ")" /
                      "+" / "_" / "," / "-" / "." /
                      "/" / ":" / "=" / "?"

     body-part := <"message" as defined in RFC 822, with all
                   header fields optional, not starting with the
                   specified dash-boundary, and with the
                   delimiter not occurring anywhere in the
                   body part.  Note that the semantics of a
                   part differ from the semantics of a message,
                   as described in the text.>

     close-delimiter := delimiter "--"

     dash-boundary := "--" boundary
                      ; boundary taken from the value of
                      ; boundary parameter of the
                      ; Content-Type field.

     delimiter := CRLF dash-boundary

     discard-text := *(*text CRLF)
                     ; May be ignored or discarded.
