The following should be attributed to Perry E. Metzger:

I did an AltaVista search and a WAIS RFC search @ InterNIC, but couldn't
find anything.

That's for the pointers, I found it:  <draft-vixie-ops-stdaddr-01.txt>

1) thats a draft, not an RFC.
2) I believe that isn't the same document, either.

Go and look at the RFC index. It usually takes a couple of seconds to
find the right document.

The only index I know if is http://ds.internic.net/ds/rfc-index.html
If you know of another, maybe one that is searchable, I'd like to 
hear about it.  Sifting through over 2000 RFCs for a keyphrase like
"well-known email addresses" without a search tool takes more than 
a few seconds.

Of course, in this particular case, that RFC is on the first page 
and has "mail" in the title:
2142 PS 
     D. Crocker, "MAILBOX NAMES FOR COMMON SERVICES, ROLES AND FUNCTIONS", 05/06/1997. (Pages=6)
     (Format=.txt)
