3.2.1 References
The References header is the same as that specified in Section 3.6.4
of [RFC2822] with the added restrictions detailed in Section 2.2 and
those listed below:
o The updated <msg-id> construct defined in Section 3.1.4 MUST be
used.
o Message IDs MUST be separated with CFWS.
o Comments in CFWS between Message IDs can cause interoperability
problems, so comments SHOULD NOT be generated, but MUST be
accepted.

- The References-header is an inheritable header (see 4.2.5.2) which
- lists CFWS-separated message identifiers of the article's precursors,
- as described in 8.6. The content syntax makes use of syntax defined
- in [RFC 2822] (but see the revised definition of msg-id in section
- 2.4.3).

- header =/ References-header
- References-header = "References" ":" SP References-content
- References-content = [CFWS] msg-id *( CFWS msg-id ) [CFWS]
-
- NOTE: This differs from the syntax of [RFC 2822] by requiring at
- least one CFWS between the msg-ids (a SP at this point was an
- [RFC 1036] requirement).

- A followup MUST have a References-header, and an article that is not
- a followup MUST NOT have a References-header.
