Can’t find a document mentioned in RFC 2821.

Hi folks. I’ve been reading through [url=http://www.eitf.org/rfc/rfc2821.txt]RFC 2821[/url] and I’m having trouble finding the information I want. I’ve been looking for the exact formatting model for message bodies that are not in a plain text US-ASCII format and/or have multiple sections in various content types. (Info an attaching files might be good too.)

RFC 2821 says

[quote=RFC 2821]

A companion document [32] discusses message headers, message bodies and formats and structures for them, and their relationship.

[/quote]

but I can’t figure out how I’m supposed to locate this document given only “[32]” as an identifier. Other documents mentioned in RFC 2821 are noted in the same fashion, but they at least have references expanded at some point in the document. For example

[quote=RFC 2821]

the original SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) specification of RFC 821 [30], – domain name system requirements and implications for mail transport from RFC 1035 [22] and RFC 974 [27]

[/quote]

Can anyone point me to this “[32]” or at least explain how I’m supposed to find a document given only “[32]”? Thanks.
