Enriched text

Enriched text

Enriched text is a formatted text format for e-mail, defined by the IETF in RFC 1896 and associated with the text/enriched MIME type. It is "intended to facilitate the wider interoperation of simple enriched text across a wide variety of hardware and software platforms". Today, enriched text is almost unknown in e-mail traffic, while HTML mail is widely used. Some peopleFact|date=February 2007 see enriched text, or at least the subset of HTML that can be transformed into enriched text, as a superior format for use with e-mail (mainly because of security considerations).

It should not be confused with Rich Text Format which is an entirely different specification, devised by Microsoft. A predecessor of this MIME type was called "text/richtext" in RFC 1341 and RFC 1521.

A single newline in enriched text is treated as a space. Formatting commands are in the same style as SGML and HTML. They must be balanced and nested. These are in other words two examples of valid enriched text:

Hello, world!

Hello, world!

The following, on the other hand, is not:

Hello, world!

An example

As an example, the following enriched text:

redBlood is thicker thanbluewater.

left-- Well-known proverb

would yield

Blood is thicker than water.

:-- Well-known proverb
