MailKit implements the following IETF specifications

[suchislife801]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. MimeKit has an excellent and usefull history of implemented RFCs related to MIME in a signle markdown file however the same is not true for MailKit. It would be nice to revisit it from time to time to see RFC progression, obsolescence, updates, etc for MailKit as well.

Describe the solution you'd like I've took the time to polish the RFCs MailKit has in the /rfc directory to match the one from MimeKit hosted here MimeKit RFCs.md

Below is the Result:

Thanks!

Thank you! I've learned so much from the MimeKit RFC.md one you've created I just had to give something back.

If anyone on stackoverflow who asks a question about mime/email even knew the ocean of RFC docs you have to navigate to really have a grasp on it... Ha.
