Translation of the subject header

2000-12-25 14:59:42
Question 1: Am I correct in that if I want to provide the
"Subject" header in more than one language, I have to use
the Message/rfc822 content-type for each of the language
alternatives.

Question 2: If yes to question 1, should the "Message-ID",
"From", "To" and other headers be repeated in each rfc822
body  part (as I have done below for the English version,
but  not for the German and French version)?

Question 3: If yes to question 2, should the "Message-ID"
be different for each translation and different from
the Message-ID of the multipart/alternative?

Message-ID: Z(_at_)foo(_dot_)bar(_dot_)net
From: John Smith <jsmit(_at_)foo(_dot_)bar(_dot_)net>
