Community Memory: Discussion List on the History of Cyberspace ______________________________________________________________________
i'm trying to write a brief history of mail functions for the introduction to a mailing list ethnography that i'm writing as a thesis
it seemed to be a good idea to look at the RFCs for this but i'm having problems locating some of the early RFCs which i believe have something to do with mail (my first encounter with these numbers came from peter Salus' casting the net)
in particular RFCs
221 ("Mail Box Protocol: Version 2" (Aug-27-1971) ) by R.W. Watson
453 ("Meeting announcement to discuss a network mail system" (Feb-07-1973) )
by M.D. Kudlick
469 ("Network mail meeting summary" (Mar-08-1973) ) by M.D. Kudlick
475 ("FTP and network mail system" (Mar-06-1973) ) by A.K. Bhushan
479 ("Use of FTP by the NIC Journal" (Mar-08-1973) ) by J.E. White
577 ("Mail priority" (Oct-18-1973) ) by D. Crocker
630 ("FTP error code usage for more reliable mail service" (Apr-10-1974) )
by J. Sussmann
i've tried
nic.ddn.mil/RFC
www.uwaterloo.ca:82/rfc
wwww.cis.ohio-state:80/hypertext/information/rfc.html andrew2.andrew.cmu.edu/rfc
ftp at ds.internic.net/rfc
and some other sites i can't remember. So i'm guessing these RFCs are lost forever.
Just on the vaguest offchance does anyone remember anything about them? or have secret copies:)
