StandardTemplate:IETF RFC Enriched Text

Enriched text is a formatted text format for email, defined by the IETF in Template:IETF RFC and associated with the text/enriched MIME type which is defined in Template:IETF RFC.

Format

It is "intended to facilitate the wider interoperation of simple enriched text across a wide variety of hardware and software platforms". As of 2012, enriched text remained almost unknown in email traffic, while HTML email is widely used.[citation needed]

A predecessor of this MIME type was called text/richtext in Template:IETF RFC and Template:IETF RFC. Neither should be confused with Rich Text Format (RTF, MIME type text/rtf or application/rtf) which are unrelated specifications, devised by Microsoft.

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.

Enriched text is a supported format of Emacs,[1] Evolution, Mutt,[2] Mulberry and Netscape Communicator.
