Another macro letter required besides 'i'

2004-03-22 08:04:00
According to the latest SPF specifications, for an IPv6 address the macro
"%{i}" produces a string in following format:

0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.F.F.F.F.1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8
1.2.3.4.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.F.F.F.F.1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8

This is useful for producing a domain name.

But for the explanation string we need a macro "%{c}" that produces a string
in following format:

::FFFF:18.52.86.120
1234::FFFF:1234:4567

Please add this additional macro letter to the SPF specifications.
