AFAIK - No one seems to have responded to this.  The message from the
RFC editor has a few mime encodings that allow you to automatically
download the text of the RFC onto you computer and some overacheiver
mail filtering software interprets this as a virus but delivers the
mail to you anyway but altered with a warning.  The extra URLs if you
get the message unchanged and the warning if you get the message
altered, are both harmless.
