Jabber Email Header

Tell the world that you use Jabber by including a "Jabber-ID" header in your outgoing email. This page describes how to set that up in various email clients.

Note well: RFC 2822 does not allow anything but US-ASCII text in email headers, so if you have a Jabber ID with Unicode characters in it, you will need to escape those!
