| 60 | This example prompts the user for addresses needed in the message |
| 61 | envelope (`To' and `From' addresses), and the message to be |
| 62 | delivered. Note that the headers to be included with the message must |
| 63 | be included in the message as entered; this example doesn't do any |
| 64 | processing of the <a class="rfc" id='rfcref-90345' xml:id='rfcref-90345' |
| 65 | href="http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc822.html">RFC 822</a> headers. In particular, the `To' and |
| 66 | `From' addresses must be included in the message headers explicitly. |
