+ \begin{macrodesc}{mailheader}{\p{name}}
+ The name of an \rfc{822}-style mail header. This markup does
+ not imply that the header is being used in an email message, but
+ can be used to refer to any header of the same ``style.'' This
+ is also used for headers defined by the various MIME
+ specifications. The header name should be entered in the same
+ way it would normally be found in practice, with the
+ camel-casing conventions being preferred where there is more
+ than one common usage. For example: \mailheader{Content-Type}.

\begin{macrodesc}{mimetype}{\p{name}}
The name of a MIME type.
