While it's reasonable to capitalize all the words in Simple Mail Transfer Protocol because it's a proper name, Message Headers, etc., should be initial cap only. [[User:Howard C. Berkowitz|Howard C.

: I understand that initial cap only is the CZ style for article titles and section headings, but what about in a list or in the middle of a sentence? It seems like title caps is the right style to show that a phrase like Message Headers is a unit. Using quotes, as in "Message headers" would work in a sentence, but would look awkward in a bullet list. Is what I have now on the Related Articles page OK? If not, please change one item to the correct style, and I will change the others. -- | : I understand that initial cap only is the CZ style for article titles and section headings, but what about in a list or in the middle of a sentence?

Article name
Typically, we avoid punctuation in article names. Commas sometimes are necessary, but, in this case, Email System Overview should work fine. Moving a cluster is a little tricky; Chris Day is getting it automated, but I'm not sure it fully works yet. Rather than give you all sorts of weird procedures, it's probably best to do a move on the page; you might have to create a new metadata page. Howard C. Berkowitz 17:33, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
